I frequently think in music, which sometimes results in colours, but I don't usually do videos in my head. The music in my head is more of a soundtrack to what I see and feel.

The colours are sort of odd. :-\

It's a lot weirder still when depersonalisation happens.

  How long does the depersonalization last?  I've had moments of something I suspect is similar
  to depersonalization, moments when I suddenly become very aware that I'm alive now and in
  this particular body, and I don't know why.  It seems so random that this is me.  Does that
  make sense?  It's kind of the same feeling you might get by staring into the mirror for a very long time.

This is sort of like the opposite. That this body is not part of you or even connected to you. It lasts from anywhere between a few seconds to several minutes.

So music is a trigger for you with the depersonalisation episodes?

Wish I could find a trigger with mine.

I think it's stress, lack of sleep but  :dunno:

I've had episodes of it forever, before I could even put a name on it. Used to make me panic when I was younger, but now I can talk myself through it in my head. Thankfully like you said, it doesn't last long...and I can still function. Silently freaking out while doing so, because I feel like I'm controlling a puppet...but I function. :LOL:

Music is sometimes a trigger but I'd expect it's just that, a trigger. I doubt anything would happen without underlying stress. :-\

  I like to "choreograph" incredibly athletic figure-skating routines
  to good songs.  This would be a great number. 
  I picture the skater winning Olympic gold with this routine!  :2thumbsup:

I do that a lot, sort of. Although like walkie, mine comes across as a multi-modality sensory set of impressions although narratives happen too. Neither exclusively like walkie does, or exclusively CBC-esque.

I find some songs in particular, make me have an intense impression of a certain person, often at a certain period during life during which we were in some way interacting.

And walkie, I know I can, for want of a better term, discourse spontaneously. DRs don't have it entirely wrong, for all spectrum-spawn but they sure as shit haven't got it entirely right either. Nor does it follow for all of us. Although logically it is unlikely given the sample size (the demographic consisting of classic/kanner's autistics, you aspie folk out there and Rett's girls in the entirety of the spectrum, as well as those not autistic/aspie per se but the types you'd likely see and think 'future carrier', who aren't those who dramatically express the traits outright, but who are phenotypically close. Cousins, I've heard them called. Or those who just could be :P being included as well) that I am the only one, I suppose its theoretically possible I'm a freak, but I very, very much doubt it on statistical probability grounds and include it as a possibility  only in a 'devils advocate' sense. For the fuck of it, because I'm a logically ornery autist like that:autism:

And I like it that way.

And walkie, for your accident-prone remark, you made the remark being unable to think of any accidents you'd been prone to one. Therefore giving you one ready-made on the spot as an example specimen.

I don't tend to rely on scripts for the most part, although I've got a fair lot of them IF one or more was to prove useful.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
