unusual or eccentric skills or interests

I am wondering if that is more common for those under the spectrum to experience later on in life. I don't know. I could tell you so many stories of dealing with the hag trying to push me down into the mattress (and its f*kn scary)... anyone ever experience incidents of sleep paralysis? I am also wondering if that is more common for those under the spectrum to experience than it is for "NT's". But anyway all of these are really interesting to read!! Thanks for sharing.

My brain is pretty foggy at the moment (mental health problems) so I can't remember things like I should be able to, however I still have the following skills:

I can remember bits of poetry/scripts/text/dialouge. I don't put an effort into this; it just seems to happen. There seems to be no logic to what poetry I remember. For example:
It's funny how beetles and creatures like that
can walk upside-down as well as walk flat.
They climb on the ceiling, they walk on the wall,
without, so it seems, any trouble at all.
Well, I have been trying for a year, maybe more
and I still can't stand with my head on the floor.

That's a poem I read when I was 9. I found it in a book one day at school. I only read it once. (I am actually a few words out, I just found the poem here. Considering that's the first time I've seen the poem in 8 years, I think that's not half bad )

I also read A Clockwork Orange without being confused by the 'nadsat' (made-up words that appear frequently throughout the book). From speaking to everyone else who's read it, this is quite unusual.

I also have knowledge about strange things that I've been fascinated or obsessed with, that most other people wouldn't have, but only because it's about an obscure subject. For example, I know quite a bit about geisha.
