Memorization of entire movies and books is more of a SAVANTISM thing... however, remember commercials and and remembering some lines of things from movies is common in Autism.

For starters:

Repeating things from movies and shows is always fun for Autistic people. We tend to do that because it is an "order" thing as we know what is going to happen when, and actually find it even more fun when people are amused by it, thats something good. Autistic people can memorize any line for you and act it out w/ perfect voice imitation, but when it comes to tying your shoes or remembering to take a pill, etc. it seems like it doesn't make sense why then we can't remember those things...don't know.


SAVANTISM and my interesting experiences with it (the pyschologist stare at me in awe and utter amazement and confusion...lol)

I myself have always been able to remember things that it really scared the doctors and psychologists. Its fun to scare them now that I know I can...lol. But, it really does drive me crazy sometimes because I can't stop remembering things, even if I want to. The psychologists asked me about 160 letters and numbers and then I had to turn around and repeat them in numerical and chronological order. The psychologist after that said he had to stop and go onto another test, which seemed like anyone else could do, even a younger child, and that one I couldn't do. It seems confusing that I can watch a movie and remember the lines or a book and repeat it back too ( coming soon ) and numbers/letters but I can't remember to take my pills or I forget to call someone back in a minute. But I think thats also because I get stuck on things, and numbers/letters I get stuck on. Sometimes it makes me mad because I can't stop having all these thoughts go throughing my head so it is overwhelming sometimes. When I was younger I was always sitting at the microwave and counting figuring out how the time left or the #s would correlate to each other and figure out how many times the numbers 123 would come out even if I kept doing sequences of 3. I was only 5 then... It was really what I did for fun along with taking my toys and 'fixing' them. Other people in my support group are amazed, and the psychologist said thats 'SAVANTISM' , but every Autistic person has something they are really good at My brothers I'm not much far away from them in age but they like to call me their little sis, lol. to all their friends and I'm almost the same age, not quite but not that far off.
