Yes, that is a very accurate and eloquent description of fragmented perception. Thank you for sharing it! Glad to have your perspective, too.

I think one thing I would add is that I often get very anxious when I am taking in all these details and I realize something has changed in my environment, but I have to go back through my memory and consciously match up every detail I see with every detail I recall from my previous observations in order to figure out what is different; it isn't automatic. And because my active retrieval is quite poor sometimes, it can take me quite a while to process the changes.

This is the thing that's weird about me: I DON'T usually notice subtle changes in my environment. I think it's part of my "non-verbal learning disability" LOL

I very much relate to this.
I always wrote down on papers that it feels like I have to start every day like new again, like entering the body, the surroundings for the first time every time again.
After being diagnosed I learnt about the consciously processing every piece of information that enters your brain and that this leads to that perception, but the knowledge about the perception does not change the perception.

this is so beautiful

I don't relate to this. I actually seek novelty.

This is my Blog Post! I am so thrilled that people are relating to it and I'm also happy that some aren't relating to it because we are all different! Thank you for reading and sharing OP.

Nice to meet you,
as you wrote in your blog post you can draw quite well,
I can also draw quite well.

Nice to meet you too! What do you like to draw?

At the moment I like to draw light,
how light can shine out of objects.
I like to draw lucency.

When I was growing up, there was this toy called "Lite Brite." You should Google it.

I think you would have loved it!

I've never experienced boredom.

I like the Weeping Willow tree.

I googled it,
I want a "Lite Brite"-kaleidoscope!

No problem, thank you so much for writing it. It's really rare I relate to other people ( I don't mean that in a pretentious way) - so when I read it, it made me feel really calm and at home.

I had a Lite Bright. It was awesome - like needlepoint with lights.

I wanted it myself--but I was afraid to ask my parents for it.
