Attracted To Patterns

Post Reply New Topic

Weirdly, whenever I see a pattern on the wall or on the floor, I observe it. I see shapes or completely different patterns, and get intrigued by them. When I see squares on a wall, I see 4 squares wide and 3 long, about the same size as full screen on TV. And I always follow line patterns to see where the lines lead to.
Anybody else observe wall and/or floor patterns?

Patterns are my thing as well. I actually got a job once looking for patterns but I didn't get along and sometimes didn't show up so I got fired but it was enjoyable while it lasted.

when i was younger

i always throw-out in a moving vehicle

which i can control now

how i refrain from looking at patterns on the streets and

focused on where we are heading

i look for visual patterns everywhere. i love them. Patterns comprise some of my most vivid and important memories.

My childhood is defined by my memory of patterns in the house where i lived. (as well as screaming and abuse, but we won't go there now!) What i do remember is the detail carpets and tiles and surfaces. love it.

You you find it as frustrating as I do trying to explain or show other people where patterns exist when they say they can't see them?

i do not even attempt to. it is simply another wavelength. for instance - if someone comes around to our place and i start remarking on the markings on the decking timber, or the pattern formed by the pine woodchip that covers part of the path...they don;t even begin to understand my penchant for details.

thankfully, we have this thread......

emoticons for xmas garyww:


it is already xmas here. take note. no change to my routine!

I do like to look at shapes and patterns on walls, floors and roofs. I like to trace where the patterns go to and from.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Yes, I always notice patterns in things. And also pictures. But it never even occured to me to try to explain them to other people, much less that they wouldn't understand what I was so excited about...

Merry Christmas (it's christmas here)

I saw a pattern of someone's logging off ... after 2 days

I love patterns. I could be distracted by them for hours. I *have* been distracted by them for hours. I don't try to share this with many people, though, because I really hate it when people look at me with a blank stare. My heart breaks a little and then I have to look away.

Happy Christmas to everyone, wherever you are! Not my holiday, but I hope you all have a great time. Tonight, I will be making potato latkes and lighting the fourth candle on the menorah. Nice having all those pretty lights this time of year, eh?

and some emoticons for you too, neshamaruach. thanks for being in my life on WP the past month. you've been very important in my journey.

happy xmas.

ugh, the emoticons are unbalanced. i usually like to put a flowere either end. i'll go in edit so it is more even in the above post of mine.

it's a pattern thing.

well. the ends are balanced.

it's the reason I collect quilts.
