Would you explain Aspergers as a one track mind type thing??

Post Reply New Topic

if someone asked you to explain Aspergers to them, would you say that your mind is a one track mind?

meaning that when everyone else can have different ways of solving problems, you would have one idea and that idea only to solve the problem.

to me, thats the easy way to explain it. my mind seems its like a one track mind and when certain things come up, i have one idea about how to handle it.

B'uhh.
Naw.
That doesn't explain my:
problems with eye contact
problems with non-literal language
sensory differences
horrible short term memory

and so forth.

Are you flexible to other's opinions? I'm not so much. If their opinion is similar to mine, I'm more inclined to be flexible. If they don't listen, I get kinda angry. So, yeah, I could say that the majority of the time I have a one track mind.

And I can only handle doing one thing at a time, otherwise I lose all of my ability to concentrate, and then I want to walk away.

Partly. I'd certainly mention it, but also other things that would be important. The usual stuff really.... I don't think I need to go into detail.

My mum would, but I wouldn't. I'd say that I have special interests that are special to me. I'd also explain how I have problems with eye contact and I'm suspicious of certain people until I open up to them or forgive them again. I also explain all the good points about myself, in order not to sound too clinical. The world is already very clinical towards us already. I want to break that chain.

Nah, not like me at all. I'm more of a "divergent thinker" and instead of coming up with one solution the problem, I'll come up with a bunch....that nobody else will think of or wanna do. Like instead of say, buying an item for a problem, I'll generally try to like, improvise the item to avoid spending money.

I'd say I only have enough brain power to PAY ATTENTION to one thing at a time, and that interrupting me might be hazardous to your health.

Nope. I say everyone else is one track, they always solve their problems the same way, I find my one solutions and am like "Screw the System!".
