Memories

As it's getting later in the year, all I can think is, "Oh my goodness, it's almost summer!" It's kind of insane how fast this year seemed to go. Thinking back, memories of junior year seems to be so much more of a blur compared to the other years. I wish I was able to remember how I used to feel this time freshman year. Or how I felt all the way back in middle or elementary school. I can remember what I wore on these days, but it seems more difficult to remember feelings verses these memories.
To think that this is nearly the opposite for an autistic person. Their mind is composed of feelings and thoughts. Spending a majority of your time daydreaming and thinking, it's no shock that most of what those with autism remembers is how they felt. I can bet that Braxton remembers how he felt and his thoughts on his very first day of school. However, I doubt he could tell me, in description, what his classroom looked like. Recent surveys have shown results from questions like these that were asked to autistic adults. I won't go into full detail, but it was pretty cool to see just how true this really is.
Just proves how much more complex the autistic mind is compared to an "average" mind. Maybe one day we'll be able to "get into" an autistic mind. Until then, we can only imagine.
