Building stuff. Not fine furniture, but other stuff. I built two rather large decks with stairs, a walk-in chicken coop and fenced in chicken run with a roof, all built from scratch.

My wife is pretty happy with that, except she won’t see me much until I’m done. I cannot let a project sit. I must keep going, must finish, otherwise the stress and anxiety is too much for me.

The fine art of nearly falling over but saving myself just in the nick of time by performing a short interpretive dance routine inspired by the futility of trying to swat the midges in Scotland. (Please don't try this at home, it is safe only for artistes with Scots ancestry and decades of practice at nearly falling over.)

Distracting store security guards and CCTV operators from the criminals that they're really trying to catch.

Avoiding violence by my uncanny ability to communicate, with neither words nor gestures, that I have absolutely no idea what is going on right now, and that I am so puny, meek and timid that even thinking of hitting me would actually lower a pub brawler's testosterone levels.

Discovering new physics theories of multi-dimensional space-time that explain the exotic places, apparently not accounted for by intuitive Euclidean geometry, where I manage to find something on which to accidentally bang my head.

Concealing my atrociously poor self-esteem by making really pathetic jokes, allowing me to quickly run away and hide while people can't see me because their vision is too disturbed by furiously rolling their eyes.

And I have been told many times that I brew a very good cup of tea! :wink:

I am a tremendous coloratura soprano and a great artist like my dad was. I can do my makeup like a makeup artist. I'm also a very good scholar and writer. I'm good with people (that's a joke). I'm a cat whisperer. I'm good at getting into screaming matches with women at church and other public places because I put makeup on at church. Why wouldn't God want me to look good? It is none of their damn business anyway. People look like they have hollow eyes when they are frowning or not smiling and that freaks me out. That is why I yell.

I have a knack for solving computer problems. People think I'm some sort of genius when it comes to computers, but really it comes down to knowing how to Google things and knowing what the common symptoms of various problems are.

I'm actually an Aspie who does NOT have any special skills, strengths, talents or is great at anything that isn't bad.

I can weird out people four to five times as fast as the regular person.

I don't believe in myself enough to point out my skills and i don't believe other people who point out the said skills either, for the same kind of people who called me gifted, or talented, have called me the exact opposite as well.

Do you have........https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia#Notable_cases??

It is aka HSAM ie.highly superior autobiographical memory.

Their caudate nucleus is often 8-10 SD above the mean in size.

I know quite a bit about this rare condition, if you wish to discuss.
