My brain with Autism (Aspergers)

I think in pictures.

I have compartments in my brain.

These compartments are each a box.

Each box is a topic, an event, or a specific period in life.

Each box is labeled, and no boxes are intermingled.

How does this make my writing more challenging?

I write about topics, events, and life periods.

Each box (thought) is in order in that box. 

I struggle pulling things from all the boxes. 

to make my writing stay in chronological order.

I do not have a junk drawer box. 

I have a kitchen box, living room box, bathroom box etc. 

I struggle taking items from the kitchen box to add to the bathroom box.

That is required to tell my story in chronological order not in topic order.

So goes my writing.

My style is very different than people not on the spectrum.

Yet when I write in my style and voice, I lose my reader.

I am having to learn to write so my reader does not get lost in my story.

I am learning how to do this and still keep my voice.

This is so hard.

This makes the editing so hard.

I know the suggestions are correct.

But I struggle to fix these. 

I do not know how a non-autistic person thinks and processes things.

So, fixing every area means I hope I got it right.
