Not really a reading habit so much as a weird reading "ability".
Sometimes, when there is some printed matter such as a newspaper
within sight, a random word from it will pop into my mind from it.
If it's a word that interests me, I'll want to read it to find what
that newspaper or whatever has to say about that word, and often
it takes me a while to find it! This happens even when the newspaper
is too far away to read easily. The word is never something simple
like "the", it's always something somewhat uncommon.
I have no idea whether this has anything to do with Asperger's or
not. Maybe someone recognizes what this is.
