| I used to have this when I was young, and I learned to focus all parallel thoughts on the same subject, and did some incredible work in Artificial Intelligence that way. I did have DID and PTSD from a traumatic childhood. The older I got, the less I had of this, and it went away totally by the age ... |

| Isn't it a positive trait? If you can think multiple things concurrently, then you are far more efficient, aren't you? I think it's a fantastic ability. I have never experienced anything like that myself. OK, the term child abuse sounds bad, but some kind of simulation of it might be a better way o... |

| My shrink tells me my ability to do this is called compartmentalizing and I do it none stop without much thought. However I have learned to focus all trains of thought onto one topic. This I do very raerely because it feels like I become a computer at the core of many information channels and I loo... |

| The OP's ability is some kind of talent, I think. It must be handy to be able to think concurrently about different things. If the right amount of child abuse causes it, then maybe we should start abusing children and stop abusing at the right time. In that way we can create competent people. It wo... |

| Yes, I was. All through grade school. That is, if they had special educational classes. It took a few years for them to get me to talk clearly. But that meant I was late learning to read. And by then I was in schools that did not offer special educational classes. I was and am slow to learn language. |

| Do many of us autistics have multiple parallel thought channels? I have counted 8 total parallel channels. 1, main thinking, 2, my main subconscious and 6 others that can think independently of the others. The 6 other channels are hard to very hard to control. Only a few times in my life I have been... |

| I can only multi task if they are my special interests. If something I'm doing is very difficult, then I lose any multitasking ability I have. If the things I am doing are all around my special interests then I can use the multi channel brain I have. It also cannot be around people, or rather ordina... |

I never liked driving, but have love old cars. I did not mind driving them once in a while, but loved learning about them the most.
Even if everyone drove by the traffic laws, I find it just too stressful. |

Some times it takes minutes to months for the missing word to come back. It is always been like this, even at a young age. It does not seem to be worse or bette... |

Does anyone ever get that?
yes when was younger, in my late teens, early twenties. Many people wanted to look at my eyes.
I would always tell them "I don't need to do drugs, I have them built in inside me" |
