downsouth 6,817 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 My daughter is on the spectrum.Super high achieving at school which is great considering we wernt sure if she'd be able to go to a mainstream school when she was little.Can be a bit socially awkward and within herself.Takes everything we tell her literally and cant get her head around somebody doing something that weve told her isnt right.Also everything has to go in its place almost a bit ocd.Cant go to toilet anywhere apart from home and will hold it all day which she has done since she was a toddler.Funny how someone mentioned lining things up as when she was a toddler she would line stuff up and if one thing was slightly twisted she would have to mess the whole lot up and start again rather than just straighten the one thing. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gypsydog94 4,326 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Knew someone years ago when was younger who was mad for horse racing. He would look in the paper looking at all the horses and the odds and time of race. Uncle would ask him if such and such horse was racing his reply would be yeah in the open 2:15 at 10/1 when I looked last. Mental how they remember things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are like sponges mate huge amounts of information just flooding in. Your lad must be able to concentrate on mine craft and he listening to the programme and he's processing both at the same time.. Does he avoid eye contact as much as possible mate.

Chid 6,374 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 I reckon I'd maybe be on the spectrum if I got tested for a few different reasons.. but who knows Some one said about number plates ..I could remember number plates of customers cars and knew what they'd be getting soon as I seen the number plate in the car park . I'm extremely switched on if something interests me .. to the point I become almost manic searching for information about the said thing . I also have a good attention to detail on remembering things to the point I could tell you what colour jumper you had on 7 years ago 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
