Yeah I have had discussions with others about this. Think this is mostly correct Need more robust way to test for this

For me, I can see the red star really clearly. As I add more shapes I start to lose definition. I can see a circle inside a square easily but if you put a star inside the circle I need to start "tracing". There's a better way to describe this activity. When the images...

Get complex the image goes dark for me but I get a spotlight. I can put the spotlight on images on parts of the images to see those parts clearly. I think this happens because non-autistic eidectics have a limit to our working memory, i.e. the number of numbers you can remember.

a portrait of the autist as a 30-something @mykolaAlso related to this I suspect is aphantasia! I can't, generally, form mental images. If I really make an effort I can imagine a static snapshot with a few details, but it starts to fade immediately. Rather I seem to think in terms of like a concept graph - I remember the system.Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

Hi! Yes! Aphantasia is super weird. I model e.g. shapes relationally - I know what a star is. I can see a brief, dim visual with effort - but I don’t need it. A star is two sets of five points, concentric, with one rotated by 72 degrees, joined by a single line. That’s enough.

Stars have 5 points within and 10 points total. You were right the first time. I don't know much about autism but from reading your long post and just looking at your behavior generally, you seem a lot more ocd than autistic.

Lol you’re right about the star points, my initial intuition was right and I somehow talked myself out of it. I’ve got some OCD issues, it’s commonly comorbid autism actually.

I'm way out of my area of expertise, but if I had to guess, symptoms of OCD and autism can present themselves similarly but the underlying mechanism is totally different. For example, an autistic spins a cube in his hand repeatedly because that's more fascinating than...
