Yes! I love learning interesting facts and information. I also like telling people these things. My family hated it when I was younger, but they seem to appreciate it now (in moderation, though). For me, it represents something bigger than just something interesting. It represents my lifelong journey of always learning more and applying that knowledge. To me, anyone can just learn facts. But if a person can use those facts, in any purpose, then he's taken something and used it to further his own intellectual journey.

I have always enjoyed the world of facts and ideas. Therefore, I have enjoyed books, computers and art, that if you reflect on it, all work with ideas.

I have to read everything from back of cereal boxes to license plate etc. :)

I am trivia mad, funny really as I've always had assumed that aspies were hyper-sensitive people who were mad about maths and numbers but it seems they can be like me with normal senses and little love of numbers but a huge love of facts. I used to drive my family mad going on and on about all the new stuff I had learned (everything from Whales to the Minoan people to extinct bird species).

Provided it's a subject I am interested in I absolutely adore learning. When I was younger I used to spend so much time in the library the staff there knew me on first name terms.

Even though I don't live in New York City anymore, I'd still love to get my hands on the subway map just for nostalgic purposes. I had it memorized back in the day. I'm sure it hasn't changed much since then.

I love to read Wiki pages while I'm brushing my teeth. Whether they're about bands, comic book characters, actors, sports, whatever. I learn a lot of stuff in that two minutes.

Given that I am a bibliophile, a love of learning and knowledge goes hand in hand. I also have a good rote memory and can store little facts for many years. Now if only I could do this with school knowledge....

I like learning things. It's the only enjoyment I'm getting out of life right now, apart from bodily functions like eating and sleeping. I don't have any friends to play with.

But I prefer doing hard things where I get to participate, like learning physics where I can do cool integrals, or solving differential equations.

Only while you brush your teeth? My dad learned Latin while brushing his teeth. :D

Brushing my teeth is one of the things I find really challenging to do, partially because I have a really strong gag reflex. I can't imagine a world where I could multitask while I was doing it. hat's off to ya!
