That is great. I think I will spend a long time looking at it. Where is it from? Thanks.

I showed it to my Aspie dad and he said his mind does look like that but more complicated. I think mine would have Star Wars characters pushing the balls around, but close enough :lol:

I could watch this all day...who else relates to it?

Haha... this actually reminds me a lot of how people in high school joked that I was controlled by a bunch of stumbling little people running around inside me, like a giant robot or something, I guess. :lol:

I made this a while back. It describes me pretty well I guess.

Except constantly moving and changing, and with bits of text interspersed.

(And the picture isn't quite right, but it's the best I could find in a short search.)


Yeah, same.

This does not look/seem/feel/whatever the way my brain works. However, I am having a very hard time making myself stop staring at this animation. O__o

That is not how my brain works, but it is fascinating. I would like to create some demonstration of how my brain works, but I don't know if that's possible. It should be.

Oddly, though I consider the first picture posted and the video far more beautiful than the OP, I looked longer at the OP. This is probably because the OP had meaning, posed a challenge and was repetitive. I wonder if, on a day when I feel overloaded and want to do small, repetitive, meaningless tasks based on sensory input, I would look longer at the video.

I count thirteen exits.

All I can see is a mass of blue dots crawling around like ants and I can't look at it for more than a few seconds (yes, I know they are all doing something, but with all the other dots crawling around there is no way I can focus on that).

Since I am not able to focus on more than one moving object at once, I would say that is not remotely how my mind works.

Interesting image, though.

I feel like my thoughtscape is too complicated to put into words, but I'll try. Basically, it's like a jumbled mass, cluttered and chaotic, but with an order all its own.

I love that thing. I see something new every time I watch it. (I just noticed the guys at the bottom who freak out when the ball falls through their box, lol.)

But my mind is more like this I think:

or maybe this:

but without the text, lol.
