What was the first thing that you REMEMBER doing that was considered autistic or abnormal?
The first thing I ever remember doing that was considered autistic,was playing with a long,wavy-like belt(which I still do to this day)when I was 3.

At six years of age I could recite the powers of 2 up to 65,536, having worked them out in my head when I was bored. (Although I've got up to 68,719,476,736 recently)
I would also not go near yogurt and tissues for a while.
But the very FIRST thing was when I was a baby. I used to sit and stare at my father's laptop (when he was using it) for literally hours on end. My eyes were actually fixated on the screen. Now I am a bit of a computer nerd.

Even TODAY, I often find myself being preoccupied with certain things.(It usually happens when I am VERY board. Almost like clicking a pen, etc... In fact, it could be clicking a pen, and looking at the cams, etc...) I DID get a switch when I was VERY young(perhaps 3 or younger), Just to figure out how it worked, etc... I always thought the taking things apart was a male thing. I ALSO thought for a while that MOST could put them back together. I figured the preoccupation which something every kid had.

| At the age of 4, I could (and almost always would...) name the make and model (and year if I could) of every car that went by. I would also count how many cars went by the house. |

I spun around in circles a lot and told everyone at the time that I was trying to be Wonder Woman.

In preschool, I didn't notice the existence of my fellow students, I was obsessed with the footballer Wally Lewis, and I'd read every street sign that I passed. That's the first thing that I can remember.
My mother tells me that a couple of years earlier I had asked the colour of every single thing that I saw.

I liked to plug and unplug things a lot (still do).

Wow, you are either very young or your dad was very much in the vanguard technologically. I don't remember seeing a laptop before around '99. |

When I was about 3 I threw a tantrum in a resaurant because my toast was cut on the diagonal. I had never seen toast cut that way, my family allways cut it horizontally.

I guess it would be memorizing a poem when I was 3 1/2 years old. I remember my mom being quite surprised and making me recite for guests.
I also remember quite a bit of walking around in a daze, thinking about various words and their homonyms / synonyms, in a townhouse we moved out of when I was 3. I could still draw you the floor plans for that house; I remember my mom reacting to that as well when i drew them for her when i was about 10. |
