First memory I have of an Aspie trait (or Special Interest) was the compelling need to memorize every Van Halen song ever produced....so that upon hearing part of one of their songs, I could instantly recite the band name, song title, album title, which track on the album it was located, the year the album came out, and (in later years) who was in the band.
