So does being autistic mean you have amazing memory
It can. But only for trains (or whatever is your thing), nothing else.
My son. It's tanks. He's 12 and can go on for hours about them, rattling off their armor thickness (in mm), caliber of their guns, horsepower of their engines, declination and traverse speeds of their turrets, etc. I took him to a tank museum one time, and no shit a quarter mile from the museum he sees the tank out front and he goes: "That's a Sherman M4A4!!" Ten minutes later we're parked and walking up to the museum, I look at the tiny info placard, M4A4, think to myself: "What the fuck."
On first skim of this comment I thought these were details about trains and I was very concerned about how weaponized trains had become.
I personally wouldn't lead an assault against modern trains. You would always know the direction they are headed, they know it as well, and you could sabotage it all you want but that train will still barrel right through your fortifications
Why did you build your fortifications on the train tracks, the ONE place the train can attack?
It's hard to stop a train!
Anyone who's ever seen Super 8 can attest. Even with a drastic change in momentum, direction, and drag coefficient, trains just keep crashing and don't stop for like an hour.
Does he play World of Tanks? Lol
(Note: it's a popular online free to play game)
He's always loved them, but I did let him start playing War Thunder a year ago with voice chat disabled.
