Aspie Sugar Blog My Kind of Play: Collect, Sort and Arrange

I used to be obsessed with organizing things (perhaps I still am). I'd collect match boxes, keychains, pebble stones, etc. During my playtime (usually alone), I liked to take them out, line them up and arrange them repeatedly based on various criteria that I've set up. This obsession gradually faded as I grew up, however, something from this trait lingered and I certainly benefit from it: I am extremely good at spotting patterns, logics and rules behind things. "It calms me when I sort or organize objects. When I was a little girl, I loved collecting objects and arranging them in particular orders I chose.Even now, I still catch myself arranging objects in a certain way from time to time at work, especially in meetings."- Aspie Sugar
