It's very irritating. I never keep my ringer on anymore. I've never learned not to hear them and I might be getting worse because of my strategy of avoidance, like without exposure I'm getting more sensitive. But I have nothing like perfect pitch.<br /><br />Do you mean you let yourself do the tasks that's you're drawn to as it suits you? If I were better at transitions I could keep to a schedule, which would be great, but I'm not sure that's the only reason that I can't.<br /><br />I was told off the cuff by a therapist that I was aspie years ago, but it wasn't an official diagnosis. I didn't think she was right, but I understood why she said it. My affect was flat, as I was under stress, but I can usually emote normally. I also prefer logic to emotions. And some things PT talks about are very like me, but so are some things m.e. talks about. So, I'm probably not neurotypical, but whatever. I only care insofar as it will help me do what I want and avoid potential problems.

I learned to not hear them. People would test me with musical notes and get all excited and tell me I have perfect pitch when there is really no such thing and when it is not consistent. I can remain coherent with some effort but I often give myself permission to transition and go naturally. I find if I let myself jump around naturally I do quite well as applied. I do try though to proceed in a normal fashion when dealing with people.aspienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-76061250005388174392013-04-20T17:32:41.302-07:002013-04-20T17:32:41.302-07:00Sure : )

I think however you can easily look this stuff up online, as far as any studies that may be available etc. With myself, I am generally not good verbally, but on some days, I am very good this way. Repeating songs.. I think A's are known for obessesive repetive behaviours. I think def. this involves dopamine high/addiction. I think some may experience emotions and feelings in this fashion. The repeat for the release and the feelings.<br /><br />QM... you are female?

What about having difficulty getting started with a task / transitioning to different tasks and also not needing breaks? (Penelope Trunk wrote about that, but I'm not sure that's a thing.)<br /><br />And regarding repeating songs, it's like playing a video game I love for hours and not being able to stop - not like I'm afraid if I don't listen to it 7 * 7 times something will go wrong. I think it's a dopamine trigger?<br /><br />I'm not looking for a diagnosis. I just wondered if these fit a pattern. Thanks again!
