Gregory Tino talks about how he believes autistic people remember events in exact detail, but may have difficulty recalling an event when asked about it? Is there a memory you can share from when you were younger?

I remember a time when I went to a house that had many cats inside and dogs.  I liked the cats.   They were soft.  The house had no kids.  

 Emotions

I have many emotions. Sometimes I am overwhelmed.  I hit my head because it lets out the feelings. I bite my hand because it feels easy.

 What is special about your dad?

My Dad is a man who cares a lot.  He is really good at making neat IT solutions.  Also, he is a good cook.  I love his burgers.  I love him lots. 

 What is special about your mom?

My mom is special because she really loves me. She believes in my abilities.  She has a lot of patience with me.  She is relentless.  I love her a lot. 

 Describe your favorite thing to do as a child.

When I was little I read a lot. I loved looking at the pictures in my books.  I would sit in my room and be happy for hours.  To be continued . . . 

 Where was your favorite place to go when you were young? Why was it special?

I loved going to the park. I liked the swings. It was special because all my favorite items were there.  It was always a good time.  I went with Mom and Dad.
