Some more findings in notes from my autism therapy
A couple more surprising findings:
- Apparently, during a few of the times that I wasn't paying attention back then, I would still answer questions consistently correctly - I definitely can't do that now! Then again, I'm assuming that "not attending" means not paying attention - it might just mean not making eye contact or something.
- Knowing my current talent with mathematics, you'd think that that identifying numbers and counting would be one of the few things that I was perfect at back then, but apparently not - I actually got certain numbers mixed up sometimes. And, just like with letters, this includes combinations of numbers that have completely different colors in my current grapheme→color synesthesia (12 vs. 11, 8 vs. 6, 8 vs. 7...). Knowing this, I'd say my mom was probably lying when she says that I hacked into her computer at age 2...
A couple of funny things I found:
- While being taught occupations, at one point I mixed up the descriptions of a vet and a fireman and said that a vet "puts out animals".
- While being taught opposites, I was asked what the opposite of "bad sitting" was (those therapists never seemed to like the way I was sitting :P) and so I said "bad standing".

Funny you should say that - Scrabble and UpWords (a game that's kinda like Scrabble but you can also stack your tiles on top of tiles already on the board so long as words containing those tiles are all changed to other real words) were two of my favorite board games as a kid :)
And yeah, if there were more than one Q tile in each game, I probably would have been really good at them ;)

You know it's about letter distribution, right?
no subject
But come on, there should be at least enough of each letter as there are in the word that contains the most of it, because with only one Z you can't spell "pizza"! :P
no subject
Well, you could use a blank tile for the other Z, but that's not the greatest use for one. Then again, it might be an AWESOME use for it if you're stuck with it! Haha!
Too true!
