TV Characters Lost In

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering is it an Aspergers trait to imagine or an inner world? I watch older TV shows like Married With Children and the The Honeymooners. I have noticed mostly when I am stressed or push myself, I imagine that I am part of the stories, or wonder how these characters would act or react in the real world.

I have always used TV as a way to try to understand how people are supposed to act with each other. Maybe similar to what you're saying?

You mean you imagine you're part of the "world" that the characters are in or that you're a character yourself?

I've done that all the time, usually from watching cartoons and stuff. Except I don't have to be stressed or anything, it just happens.

Although to be honest, I don't think I'd want to be in the world of Married With Children. Especially the way Al Bundy treated women that would not be acceptable in today's world. Although I did find it pretty funny and usually women would end up making him eat his words. Apparently he doesn't bathe or brush his teeth much either.

I imagine a part of that world

I used to do that ALL the time. One thing I got a kick out of with Die Unendliche Geschichte(AKA the Never Ending Story), was that I often had that kind of experience. I would like get lost in a book as if I were there. NICE. I had to wonder if the author of that book had the same kind of experience. Of course sometimes I would kind of watch movies in my mind, and kind of live them out. It beats watching TV.
