"I am a possible Aspie, and I have a very vividly detailed memory. People in my family tend to call me if they are trying to remember the name of the cat who belonged to our neighbor across the street in 1978."

OMG! I can so relate!!! Only if they are obscure facts that have limited real importance... Important things, like answers on tests... not so much. But when I was tested it was discovered that there is something wrong with my short term memory... If it makes it to long term memory it is there forever!

I "talk to myself" in my head almost non-stop but that isn't how I think. I just have to translate things to words in my head before letting them out into the world. If I don't I either become non-verbal or look like I am having some sort of psychotic break.

What little sign I know is a godsend because my body can "move a thought" without having to translate it.
