 Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 4:22 am Post subject: I'm honing my super power. |
 |
|
Well, it's been a few months now since I started the thread "When do I get my new superpower?", building on the notion that many aspies seem to have special aptitudes in certain areas ie. math and science.
After long months of training, I realized my super power would not be shooting fire from my hands, and for a long time, I stopped posting because I couldn't come to terms with that fact. (Being depressed about the girl I liked avoiding me had noootttthiiinnnnggg to do about it.)
I just wanted to say, I found that my aptitude is in english and literature, and that I'm really not going to let go of the positive delluison that AS members get super powers as compensation for how much our social skills suck. ^_^.
Furthermore, I've been trying to reproduce my special interest attribute (still games; games and games and games and games. I think in games, refer to life as games, and still mean to play the game "Life" just to see if it compares.) and have come up with a super power to become narrowly determined!
It developed from being narrowly determined on random things, but I've tried to convince myself of the outbranching value of really, really, really uninteresting subjects, so I can go about them without all that difficulty of ~acute disinterest~.
Anyway, just wanted to say I'm going to be a regular again, glad to have you all here because I finally feel like I'm on the *right VIRTUAL planet*, and wanted to see whether anyone's found themselves with super powers or being able to focus their ability to get specially interested on secondary things.
I'm not ready to be disillusioned, and you can't make me ^_^. |

I never knew I was mechanically inclined until I started my new job. I put together a piece of machinery with over 60 parts in half an hour by myself after being shown how only a couple times. 
Branch out and try some different things. I never was interested in machines and mechanical stuff, probably because I'm a girl and no one ever thought to teach me this kind of stuff. |

I keep waiting for my 9 year old sons special interest/talent to materialize but so far all I keep coming back to is the computer or his ps2/xbox for him. These are his world, he role plays games he talks games his catch phrases are games etc.... So I guess I need to get real this is it. (for now anyway)
I bought him a new ps2 game last week, I spent a liitle time telling the guy in the store I didn't want anything to easy, because my son tends to finish games very quickly if he is keen. He assured me that he himself had been working on this game for a while now it wasnt real easy but it wasn't super super tough either. When we were leaving the store he told me to pop in next week and let him know if I was sick of the noises the game makes. We got home at 4.30 that night.
At 7.30pm the same night J (my 9yr old AS son) comes out and says he has defeated the boss in the final stage. !!!!!!! My older son checks, yes the boss is dead, but shouldn't be dead because you are supossed to have to collect stuff to be able to kill this thing at the end, J did it with out collecting everything. We have sent the boy back to collect the items. |

| My oldest son who is now a video game artist for GuildWars was homeschooled for a number of years. Despite being NT, he became so obsessed with Nintendo, that I had a lot of trouble getting him to do any schoolwork. I learned the concept of delight directed studies(if a kid likes baseball, have him learn fractions by doing stats, the history of baseball which could encompass American history, civil rights, geography, map reading etc) So I tried and tried to think how I could do anything with Nintendo. Finally I had him write a business letter to Nintendo Power magazine every month. After a year of this, the magazine finally published one of his letters! |
