“My mind sees in pictures”. If you’ve followed medical science regarding autism or Asperger’s, you will hear this. Though I don’t know the exact reason, I imagine it is because many of us have reading disorders, and had to use visuals growing up to learn.
For instance, when in grades 1-12 when studying, I would first ask a friend to study with me and that was extremely helpful as he/she often would have read the assignment. It took me a week or two to read what other students often read within an hour or two.
On occasions I was unable to find an available study-friend, I would look at the graphics and/or photographs in textbooks and read the short explanation under it. That, for me, often “told the whole story”, and to that extent, that’s what I learned.
Needless to say, I did dismally in college in my early years but after several decades of “street experience”, I returned to school and did okay (until health issues sidelined me). But I had learned to read using a ruler etc. I had trouble retaining a good bit of it on some days (due to autism) but on others I could focus and concentrate as well as most other students.
There was an upside to my learning disorders and that is, I learned to “put things together” as I was so often “solving puzzles” (that is, life), much of what others took for granted, by putting together pieces of various aspects of a project.
At times this would lead to what some might call “flights of fancy” and, I imagine, the elusive moomaid is no exception for most.
I do love stories (still) about mermaids and other sea creatures and of course I’ve mentioned many times my love of cows (and all animals, really) but cows to me are gentle giants that I could “hang out with” forever.
Finally, I was raised in S. Mississippi very near the Gulf Of Mexico. The sea creatures were my friend. I spent hours on the beach or in the tide contemplating life. I still love that beautiful place.
For those interested in seeing the moomaid on some of my licensed gifts…………
