What's this I hear about imaginative play?

Well, I don't know how you mean "imaginative play". If you're asking if I played with my dolls, in a way that I spoke for them, and imagined that they were doing, whatever; then, "No"----and, when I saw other little girls, doing this, I never understood how to do it; or, what the point was, or whatever. I was only interested in a doll's CLOTHES----and, what outfits I could come-up-with.

If, however, you're asking if I was imaginative in my thinking, then "Yes". I was very imaginative, from a tiny, little kid, in the sense of writing stories, poems, essays, and so-forth----and, was published a few times (magazines and newspaper).

I was diagnosed with Asperger's.

I don't know what "tactile defensiveness", is----unless, it's merely getting angry when someone touches you, and I don't have that.

What confuses me is when I was a kid I was no good at building Legos. Instead I would get my mum to help me build a Lego house, then when it was all finished I would put the little Lego men inside it and play with them. And if I was worried about anything, I would make pretend it happens in my Lego house, as a coping mechanism.

Is this unusual for an Aspie child to play with Legos this way?
