DAE

3 years ago by UnicornKitty to c/womenwithautism

I always thought a sticky with everyone's DAE posts was needed. That way if you wonder, you can look in that thread and immediately not feel alone. That isn't to say you can't post a separate thread if you want!

So comment your DAE questions here, and I will add them to the list! I will post what few I remember to start.

DAE:

*Not hear a voice in their head? Not have images? Feelings attached to memories?

*Pick at their fingernails?

*Not have a special interest?

I have no minds eye at all. There are no voices in my head aside from mine that I can control, no pictures, feelings or other senses.

I pick at my fingers as well, generally when I'm tired or stressed.

It's different to that, I experience emotions and can express them in real time. However, after if I think back to a memory the emotion is there but like a line written in a book. 'I was having fun and happy...', but thinking about that memory will not give me a happy feeling. Talking with my wife she can re-experience the emotion when she recalls a memory.

My memories are like lines of knowledge in a book, everything is a fact and stored as such. It makes me amazing at remembering knowledge, facts and how to do things.

I know lots of stories about my kids as they're growing up, and yet I cannot recall/remember what they looked like as little kids. I do recognise them most of the time in photos.
