Visualization poll (participation is mandatory)

Mandatory? There's no better way to get a group of non-conformist individualists ignore your post on principle than to tell them they must do something because it is mandatory.

I don't know why I'm answering this as I doubt it'll be useful, but...

1)Okay, unofficial diagnosis (although a consoler who has a relative with it thought it fit-that's how I heard about it). Not sure, but nothing else fits and many aspects of it do.

2) I have no idea-that's forming mental pictures of things? Average, I guess. I mean I can picture stuff, picture a route in my head, or whatever (although I can't remember faces really unless I've seen them tons, which might be normal for everyone, no idea).

3) Ditto...I guess I can imagine what something sounds like like normal, and can imagine what someone sounds like. I hold imaginary conversations in my head from time to time, often taking the form of me explaining one of my interests in detail to someone

I read the questions and thought "this thread shouldn't vanish without trace, despite the title!", I like to read about the different ways we perceive things. I find it fascinating that everyone is different; we all communicate using the same medium, but the processes going on in every person's head are unique, it's wonderful.

1. Official, Asperger's.

2. I do not visualize things in my head. My sense of direction is poor, as in it takes me awhile to figure out which way is right and left. If someone points to something I'm lost without further description, etc. I like to have picture examples, however. I never imagine what someone would look like.

3. No idea. I don't think I'm any good at it or I would have noticed it I suppose. I never imagine what someone will sound like.

I suspect I'm AS, the lay aspie quiz suggests it as well.

I have very strong visualization, I can design complex machines in my mind then transfer that to paper or computer. I usually just make things as I, go rather than design them on paper first. if an object is described in words, I can construct a mental image of it rather completely, I dream mostly in color as well.

I can't do sounds at all

Diagnosed~

I visualize very well and can quickly bring up tons of pictures of tons of things, but it starts to break down if I try to visualize really precise things. Gets sort of spotty and unsure. I have that visual-spacial badness thingy, also.

I've never really thought much about imagining sounds, but I'm trying it right now and it's working very well. I guess I don't think in sound much, besides a very nondescript voice in my head that I narrate with.
