AS and a fascination with water.

Post Reply New Topic

I most definitly love water, especially when I'm splashed with it and in it (except when it's to cold, but love it in the warm spring, summer, and warm fall)

I really enjoy water. I love swimming, I used to love playing in the bath tub, and I bet I still would if something in my life messed up many things that I did every week. I also love rainy days, and watching this thing in a hospital that has slow water the moves downward in glass, or between two glass walls. I also absolutely love video games that have water in it that you can go in. I automatically love the game, if I can control my character in water. Even if I don't like the plot of the rest of the game, I think I always like it if I can swim in water on it. I don't really know why, but it just is that way. I especially when I can go from underwater to above water without it loading different locations. My birth horoscope is also Cancer, so I learned that my birth element is water, as well.

Love water too - showers, baths, swimming pools, lakes but especially the sea! Being on the sea, in it or just looking at it - when I was a kid I believed I was a mermaid, only without a tail.

I've always said if I had another life I would be a fountain designer! Water in all its forms fascinates me...the sound, the way light bounces off it, the smell of the ocean, the soothing touch of water, etc.
I stand in the shower and get lost in the beauty of the water droplets sliding down the glass. If only I could capture it in paint!

I used to play with a water bottle. I enjoy watching bubbles an waves.

Wow... I'v never had a post resonate with me as much as this one has.
When I was in pre-school, I was obsessed with our water table and did everything I could do to gain access to it every day.
When I was older, this continued into swimming and I would take every opportunity I could to jump in a pool or a lake and hover around underwater.
Someone earlier posted about a fascination with sunken ships and noted the Titanic... I was completely obsessed with the Titanic when I was younger (and still am to this day)!
I take lengthy baths (sometimes for up to 2 hours on a weekend)... Always have and always will.
I love those toys where you can join two 2-liter bottles together and they create a whirlpool/tornado as the water goes from one to the other. I could stare at those things for hours!
Those little handheld games where you fill them up with water, push the button and a puff of air creates bubbles and you use that to catch a ring or a ball or what have you? Awesome!! !
I worked for 8 years as a lifeguard / swim instructor for small children.
I came up with my own personal life philosophy centered around water and how "everything flows and finds its way to an even state".
Even as I type this, I am preparing to head out and tube down a river.

Thank you for posting this and making me feel a little less weird about my water obsession!

Hello everyone!
I'd like to know if anyone have any reference or study linking water and asperger/autism. I've already read some associations in Internet and in some therapy programs ads, but I don't have any text about it. Particularly, I love water in many different ways.

As a child, my fascination was more with the creatures IN the water - especially sharks. Ocean waves are calming to me, as is rain.

Ironically, I have an irrational fear of being IN water because my overactive imagination just replays shark attack scenarios over and over again. I could be scared in a public swimming pool - even though it's completely irrational and I know it!

I frequently stand on a bridge over the local river when I walk my dog at night, I just listen to the soothing hissing or chaotic crashing, it changes depending on the rainfall there's been. I must look like a nutter to others passing by but I just stand there because it is very entrancing and actually acts to help recharge me from the noise of the road. I love when water splashes down in a series of strings or droplets from a roof or something, the kinda whipcracker noise as it smashes into the pavement, I like raindrops spattering on little hedge leaves and can stand looking for ages at it, I just like how water interacts with everything!

When I was a child, I spent hours and hours playing with the hose. I loved to make streams.... and canyons... and I made piles of rocks (my "rocky mountain" as I called it) I would place the hose into the rocks and let the water cascade through the mountain... and simply sit in fascination watching and listening.... fantasizing about a full scale mountain with caves and streams... pure heaven.

Also... the sound of water flowing through a corrugated plastic tube was magical.
