I never really felt that. I saw my my diagnoses as an explanation but not for my personality traits but actually my impairments and explanation for things I wasn't aware of or didn't understand. Like why making friends was such a hard thing, why did people keep ostracizing me, why can't I learn like the other kids, why does my dad keep telling me to look people in the eye. Why can't I remember things immediately after people tell Me things. It was never a matter of personality. Some things were additional like so that's why i have such a good photographic memory, so that's why I feel bad for inanimate objects.
Why do you focus so much on your impairments? You may have some social difficulties, but it's just because everybody's different. I'm glad you mentioned your photographic memory. That shows your autism also explains you have a great ability, a gift, that not many people have.
I think I have some kind of photographic memory, too. When I study for an exam, I take like photographs of the pages in my brain, and then, in the exam, it's almost as if I were cheating, because it's as if I could see the pages of the book and see some of the things that were written, where in the page they were written, etc. Is this a normal thing?.
Because autism largely affects me in a negative way. I can acknowledge the positives but the bad outway the good. Photographic memory is nice but I lack the ability to remember spoken words clearly, even 5 seconds after being told something. I have an intense focus but it's too intense and people get mad at me for neglecting important tasks because I was too focused in another topic. It's very frustrating.
I don't know a whole lot about photographic member, mine isn't perfect, like I can see a page in a book but the words are blurry and I can't read them. My photographic memory works best with remembering movies and episodes, I watched deadpool a total of 3 times and I can replay the entire movie in my head, I can't remember the script unfortunately but still mildly impresive
From reading several of your posts, I am seeing that you are visually very strong but have trouble with language, speaking, reading etc. Do you find that it is difficult for you to read and comprehend what is written here at WP sometimes? Like does it take you a while to read and understand the posts? Would it be easier for you if written things came with illustrations to help you process what the written text is saying? I will often form mental images like movies or photographs in my mind when I read or hear something. Often times, if I cannot make a mental photo of the thing, I can't understand it, it makes no sense to me. Do you find that this is the same with you?
