Do aspies have a lack of creativity? Can they only do the things which they have seen before or solve the known problems for which they have prepared?

I think I am creative.

I write stories.

Nah bou, We can be very creative!

Programming is my favorite hobby. I'd like to think that a certain level of creativity is needed for that...

no, another aspie myth.

im creative- design and illustration. there someone on here called artistic aspie, i think.

No, I don't think so. I am rather creative.

no more then Nts

i can understand what u guys r talking about.I can draw cartoons.But its always about character and also they are of certain types.What I do is to blend my previous experience and draw it in a different way.In summary I use experience for drawing not creativity.When i try to draw new type of cartoons of which I havent seen any example I cant draw a good one.

Is this only about me that I am a low functioning aspie or that its true for others also??

I think I'm creative... I like to write, to play with words... I have new ideas when people need to solve a problem... I have what I call "my inside life" and there I can imagine everything...

But what's hard for me is to try writing stories because I feel unable to create characters with personality and that I'm too perfectionist.

I feel like I am creative, and so are many others, but there is a difference between creativity and originality. It's very hard to make something truly original, usually you have to take inspiration from another source, but as long as it's a different interpretation and not just a copy, it's still creative.

shantonu was trying to post this drawing he made.

I can be creative at things I want to be.

Uh yeah I kind of do. I used to write stories when I was little that my parents and teachers seemed to think was awesome for a child of my age... I don't know where that went but these days I am not very 'inventive' but I love to create! I can draw anything as long as the picture is in front of me. I really like my drawings but I don't consider them to be artistic because it's only ripping off someone else's art. I wish I could create things from my brain but my mind seems to be too transient for that.. the things that I see aren't clear or stable enough for me to duplicate them before they are gone.

No. We're plent creative!

lol, if only. i'm sick of being so excessively creative.
