Aspies For Freedom

One person's "useless" knowledge is another's useFUL knowledge. People who say things indicating otherwise are probably just jealous of your larger mental storage capacity.

Other people besides me studied how to fend off creatures of the night as kids? Cool. (I also know the plants that attract fairies, how to neutralize a voodoo doll, and Native rituals for cleansing places of negative influences. No, seriously.)

It's not so much the collection of knowledge as it is the ability to make connections among things that don't seem to be related.  As a writer I've gotten some good story ideas from combining weird random bits of knowledge.

Athlynne -
I could send you the list of faerie attractants and repellants I compiled, if you want.
It does vary by world region, though, so if you want it give me some idea of where you are first...Western European pixie-types respond to different things than, say, Hawaiian menehune or the little rock folk of west Africa...
(And yes, special interest ahoy here....)

But I think Aspies enjoy suspending belief and entering these worlds, not believing in them, but just wondering, what if?
