Really good at mazes ... "Aspie" intelligence or n

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really do a lot of games anymore, but when I was younger I used to buy a lot of those workbooks with mazes and word searches and all. I was quite good at most of this sort of stuff, but I found myself getting bored with doing mazes. Why? Because it never seemed to be a challenge for me. I'd always easily find my way through it, and most mazes seemed the same after a while.

Is this some sort of hidden aspie trait? I know that aspies are supposed to see all the fine details and stuff. I would look at a maze and follow the path in my mind and ignore all the dead ends. That's probably not how one is supposed to go about doing mazes. I would then draw the pencil along the path that leads me out.

I used to do lots of puzzles, some kinds became too easy but others remain challenging to this day.

I've no talent at solving mazes, yet I've created (drawn) hundreds of my own original mazes. Go figure.

There is such thing as Aspie Savants which work really well with puzzles and such. You must be good at math by the looks of it.

I've been told I'm good at mazes. They're fun.

It could be simply a result of high intelligence.

Actually, I'm good at certain math concepts. I can solve equations and all, graphs and more, but conceptually ... like why I am sort of doing what they're teaching ... that takes much longer to get, at least for me. I think it may actually be a problem with how such material is presented, though. I took a statistics course, way after calculus, and then learned what integration really is ... Finding the area beneath a curve. It must have been taught during the calculus course, but I couldn't really stand the way teachers taught math. They'd write on the board, and then erase things, and write back over it. I couldn't keep track of stuff that way. I needed to read the book to learn anything. I simply didn't pay too much attention in math classes. I felt the teaching style was extremely disorganized. I couldn't arrange stuff in my notebook as easily, and with a laptop ... try taking math notes with a laptop.

I've found a Java Game on the Internet called, The Ladybug Maze. I've lead all of the Bugs back to their Homes in less than Five Minutes.

It could be visual thinking kicking in.
I am good at mazes and wordfind and hidden pictures but suck at math. Jigsaw puzzles were fun when I was younger and I still indulge on occasion.( I will work on one till I am so tired that I can not see then get up in the morning and keep going end up late for work ect..... .
I am a very visual thinker .

I'm shy about this, for several reasons, but I'll put link here, in case someone wants to peek.

I do mazes & a local website hosts them for me, on a weekly basis. I worry about being criticized or praised (both reactions are too intense for me to cope with, I prefer a moderate response). Am reluctant to show them off & say Yeah, I made these. Figure it's better to post link than to try to fit large image of maze in this little comment box.

I suck at mazes. But then, I also suck at math and science. Not that type of thinker.

I'm not very good with mazes or math but I am good at crossword puzzles and word games. I love hangman, 21 questions, those visionary things that are in a box and mean a word(forget what it's called), ect.

Not good with mazes but then it's not necessarily an Aspie thing if you have NLD also.
Crosswords I adore. I absolutely do not like real mazes, as I find them quite unsettling & can get quite upset or uptight if not sure where I'm going (which you do often find whilst in a maze!).

I am not good at mazes. And I am an utter failure at crossword puzzles.
