My bedroom walls have no posters - aspie thing or just me?

Post Reply New Topic

No posters, but we have two full-wall painted murals by an artist-friend of my wife. They represent family heritage.

Otherwise just a few pieces of normal household artwork here & there, but only a calendar in the bedroom. I never thought about it really. And I've never bought a painting or poster. Any that we have, were gifts or have some kind of a purpose (maps, a poem written about my wife's Grandma for her funeral, etc etc). In my weightlifting room, I have some framed magazine ads for vintage motorcycles, and a control box for an air raid siren (sirens are one of my aspie special interests).

My house came with the office having an ancient-looking map border up. Carefully painted around the border (the whole house desperately needed to be painted inside) so it didn't have to be removed. I found a print of a map in a similar style, now I just gotta get the time to get it framed...

I actually love posters. My room just doesn't have any right now because I'm in the process of putting up wallpaper. I have posters of classical art pieces, movie posters, a video game poster, a poster of the periodic table of elements, and a trippy psychedelic poster that looks like it's moving if I stare at it for too long. I've also had glow-in-the-dark plastic stars all over the walls and ceiling so that when I turned the lights out, it would look like I was floating through space. I guess I"m just that type of person who feels that everything has to be decorated.

I have a sumie (ink) painting on my bedroom wall and a mask in my kitchen. Otherwise, my walls are bare.

I have things on my walls, I've got 2 posters and a fabric wall hanging and a wooden elephant hung up as well.

I like posters, I have a few artistic like posters, a poster of the grim reaper (I have an obssesion with death..) a Van Gogh print, a huge wall hanging of the jungle with big cats and some of my own drawings on the wall.

I like them there it makes it feel like there is more space in my room and I'm not trapped in a tiny box, I like looking at them and thinking random thoughts.

On the walls topic

The walls of my home are filled with paintings by family members (including my youngest) and enlarged nature photos I did. I love this stuff. No posters.

My NT children hate anything on their bedroom walls. Go figure.

I think I answered this thread a while back with something similar. I like visual stuff, and admire other artwork I enounter on my travels.

I love posters, I doubt it's an AS thing. I collect movie posters. Currently I have Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Jaws, Gremlins, Scream, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers framed on my walls. I have tons more though from my job that I just don't have enough space to hang up.

I have 11 pictures on three of my walls and I have AS. But I am on the intelligent part of the AS spectum.

empty walls for me too.

but i do know a few aspies who love the opposite...



BTW: i am a designer and architect... go figure.

It might be an aspie thing. I used to have bare walls, til my parents gave me their Auguste Rodin poster and a print of an old poster from the 1920s with a black cat (both framed). The Auguste Rodin poster is actually really relaxing to look at, it's not in your face or anything. I also have a flag of the union jack covering one of the side windows in the bay windows of my room to keep the perverts away. I have an eraseable calendar and a postcard of Rhodes, Greece by my desk.
When I was a teenager I had photos of green day on my walls but I always found them really distracting to look at.

I have never had photos of friends or very many relatives up though I do have a framed photo in my bookshelf of me with my late grandad when I was 3 yrs old. I always felt like my housemates must notice the lack of friends photos, they all have an entire shrine to their friends it seems.

When my younger sister was starting to get interested in bands and boys, she had posters all over her walls. She used to tease me and my parents were worried that I wasn't interested in the kind of thing they saw as "normal", so I put some posters up. At the time, the newspapers had a double-page poster every day of something science-y - so instead of bands, I had posters of the periodic table, endangered animals, species of trees, etc. I also got some embroideries I'd done framed and they went up too. Never really put any band/people pictures up...

My walls are pretty much empty as well. I get extremely frustrated if things are crooked and not perfect so that is part of the reason there is nothing on the walls. There is one poster on my wall of a Subaru Legacy, it's not straight but for some reason it doesn't bother me too much and has stayed up.

I don't have anything on my walls yet (or even a mirror in my bathroom), though I now have lived in my flat for a year. But that's due to executive dysfunction, I guess. It just doesn't bother me, but once something came up it would be nice too.
It's also that my walls are made of concrete and I need one with a special tool to make holes, just haven't contacted one yet.
But maybe my support person can help me with that (I have got one from a center of counselling and support for adults with AS).

I have none in my room but I had up three posters in my apartment and I took them all down and put up a new one above the kitchen sink.

It's probably an aspie thing, but I known an aspie whose walls have posters or cars and snakes and whatnot all over his walls. My walls are completely bare, save the cork board in the centre. But when I was 12, I papered the walls with pictures and posters or animals. Any animal, as long as it was 'cute', literally, so you couldn't see the wall underneath- it was ALL poster.
