Yes. I did do pretend play at times, but I also did "autistic" things like line toys up or repeat something over and over again.

Yes, if it was related to one of my interests. I didn't like having to do it for school assignments though. Had terrible writers block.

As an adult, can you create fictional stories?
By stories I don't necessarily mean a story as in a book, but also can you create and share a fictional scenario with someone.
I could but I'd struggle.

Is your long term memory good and do you consider it to be better than others?
Probably better than most but I don't have a photographic memory. I just seem to have memories that go further back into childhood than most people do. I don't remember details perfectly though and would have to make some stuff up to fill in the blanks if I wanted to tell a story. I figure this is what NTs do most of the time anyways.

It's not very good. By that I mean I'm not good at remembering random information or things like names.
