It's aspie cool to organize your books by the Dewey Decimal System, including the language and geography sub-codes, and the secondary cross-reference numbers, and know that they are parsed like international phone numbers, not fixed-length fields, though it would be better if they used delimiters.

It's Aspie cool to have a labelled folder with materials and brochures for each area in the city one plans to tour and all folders in a reference box on the shelf, plus an excel file in the computer with a list of sites by location in each of the areas of that city. To have gathered so much material and done so much research, taken so many relevant photos (and taken a Photography course to make sure the photos are correct enough) and made such a methodic classification of everything that one can in one evening write a book for publishing and another one next week. ----- When all one had set out to do was get to know one's city better. True story about me! To undertake absolutely everything one does as a NASA project, from learning to make sushi to post-doc studies.

The way to do it is this, forget element songs these is a easy way.
Make sure that you know the details of the first transition block metal carbonyls
V(CO)6 (paramagnetic)
Cr(CO)6
(OC)5Mn-Mn(CO)5
Fe(CO)5
Co2(CO)9
Ni(CO)4
This gives you
V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni
Know that Cu Zn come after Ni, and that Sc Ti come before V Cr
or use the following facts
To do this use ligand field theory, Cu(II) has one unpaired electron as it is d9
Zn(II) is always diamagnetic (d10). Cr(III) is kinetically inert becuase it has a half filled set of d orbitals (d5). So Cr has to be in group 6.
Ti(IV) is the highest oxidation state which Ti can reach so Ti. Also bear in bind that Sc(III) is diamagnetic (d0)
Now you have
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Next add the Cr group metals which form carbonyls Mo and W
Now you have
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo
W
Now as Mo-99 decays by beta emision into Tc-99m which decays by IC to Tc-99, now beta into Ru-99
Now we have
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo Tc Ru
W
Next add Re which has a diagnal relationship with Mo (both do alkene oxidation chemistry)
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo Tc Ru
W Re
Now use the fact that Os and Ru have very similar organometallic chemistry to add Os. Also as Pd and Pt are in the Ni group. Use as a reminder the fact that the Ni, Pd and Pt series has increaing C-M bond strength.
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo Tc Ru Pd
W Re Os Pt
Next use the fact that Rh does hydroformulation just like Co to remind you that Rh comes below Co. Add the last platinum group metal Ir in the hole which is left behind
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd
W Re Os Ir Pt
Add Ag and Au, use as a reminder that Ag(I) is like Cu(I), and that Au is more heavy than silver. Also add Cd and Hg use the fact that these elements form +2 d10 ions.
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Next add Zr and Hf, use the fact that these are in the same group as Ti. As Zr is a major fission product it is a second row transition block element (not a third row TM)
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Zr Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Hf W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Next add Y, use the fact that Sr-90 decays to Y-90 which decays to Zr-90. Also add La as Y is so much like a lanthanide
Now we can expand the table a little
Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Sr Y Zr Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
La Hf W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Add the Ca and Ba, these are easy as they are in the same group as Sr
Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Sr Y Zr Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Ba La Hf W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Add Nb, as Nb is a fission product of U it comes in the 2nd row, then add Ta which is the last TM
Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Next add the group I metals, these are easy to recall as plenty of films exist of their increasing violence when added to water
Li
Na
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Add Mg this is easy as it has a diagonal relationship to Li, Be comes in easy as it is the lightest group II metal
Li Be
Na Mg
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Now here is the left hand side of the table. I might post another day the way to get the right hand end of it.
You like Chemistry? I like it too, but Im not sure if I'll ever be able to write out the periodic table memory. I wanted to put up a poster in my room of the periodic table so it can be a handy reference when I do my Chem hw instead of having to flip to back of the book all the time. Have u memorized all the atomic masses too?
It's Aspie cool to go all narrow-focused while you're fighting at kickboxing class, and not realize that someone was repeatedly asking you to slow down and hit less hard.
Yes, I have done that.

No I have not got all the masses in my head, I do not do "random text" or "random numbers", I only do patterns, shapes and images.
But based on the some of the radioactive decay paths I know, which are patterns. Which means that the following are stable
Y-89
Sr-88
Zr-90
Ru-99
Co-59
Ni-60
Mg-24
Rh-103
C-12
C-13
N-14
O-18
B-10
B-11
He-3
He-4
K-39
Ca-40
Ba-137
Gd-152
Gd-154
Na-23
Li-6
Li-7
P-31
S-32
I can recall that the following isotopes have nuclear spins of one half
1H
13C
19F
31P
77Se
103Rh
195Pt
Now for the rest of the table
Li Be
Na Mg
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Add the top line of the p block. Use the bonding and shapes of the hydrides. B2H6 tends to form three centre 2 electron bonds as it has too few electrons for classic bonding. CH4, NH3, H2O, HF
Li Be B C N O F
Na Mg
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg
Add then Al which has a diagonal relationship with Be. Also add Si, Ge, Sn, Pb. Bear in mind that the order of the C group can be remebered becuase the bond to H and C gets weaker going down the group.
Li Be B C N O F
Na Mg Al Si
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ge
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd Sn
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Pb
Next add P, As, Sb and Bi using the same bond strength rules to get the order correct
Also add S, Se, Te, Po. Use the fact that the C-E and P=E bonds seem to get weaker going down this group. Just remember that Po is at the bottom of the O group it has rather less chemistry than Te.
Li Be B C N O F
Na Mg Al Si P S
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ge As Se
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd Sn Sb Te
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Pb Bi Po
Next add the halogens, using their general redox chemistry to get the order right. Also Add Ga, In, Tl. Sadly these are ones you just have to remember I do not know a rational way to get the order right. Also add H above Li as it is the first element, add the noble gases.
H He
Li Be B C N O F Ne
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr
Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te I Xe
Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Tl Pb Bi Po As Rn
Now you have the bulk of the table.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
