My memories aren't neatly stacked, they're all suspended alone, but with a myriad of links and connections to each other that probably only make sense to me. I can read a sentence fragment in a post, and suddenly I'm in 1972, watching a Brady Bunch episode, because the phrasing or tone reminded me of what Jan said in that one episode...

@ScottSoCal @SQLAllFather @markusl @cwebber @ginsterbusch @dpnash @hosford42 @Tooden @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity I've heard this unique autistic form of memory described as 'associational thinking' by Temple Grandin in the book 'The Autistic Brain'. She corrects her previous mistaken idea that all autists were visual thinkers. I'm not. I'm a linguistic thinker.
In my case, I think I am a visual thinker - or maybe a sensory thinker. I see, hear, and feel things, and they're very vivid, whether they're memories or imagination.
