Repetitive training contraindicated...

Interesting research about how to increase an aspie's ability to generalize information:

“Repeated stimulation leads to sensory adaptation which interferes with learning and makes learning specific to the adapted conditions. Without adaptation, learning is more efficient and can be generalized.”

“For example, in the context of learning what a dog is, using a full range of examples of dogs — and even of animals, more generally — incorporates variability from the beginning and promotes learning a broad concept rather than a specific example.”

I remember when I was little and poured over my parents' specialized handbooks on things like minerals, plants, birds, …mushroom. Loved it, never guessed it helped me.

Some things that I did as a child didn't help me learn anything. I am pretty sure that if I had figured out defined interests that I liked, I might have done better. But the past is the past. Can't go back.
