Autism Friendships

I was chatting with my autism specialist today and she confirmed something I’ve suspected for a while... people on the spectrum tend to get on better with others on the spectrum! I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m a social disaster on all levels, but I guess it would be nice to chat with people who share similar issues. The problem I have is that my interests are pretty niche - for example wildlife, aviation and history... not exactly the stereotypical young adult male interests. I’m guessing others share this problem... or maybe not. I dunno :-/ 

Not sure what I’m getting at but sometimes it’s good to just air your thoughts.

  • To be French Revolution is an interesting era - a lot of people don’t realise just how much impact it had in Britain - not directly, rather the fear of the people becoming revolutionary - there was both concessions and repression to deal with this fear. 

    I’ve not seen the series you mention but I’ll look out for it.

    it’s actually nice to have someone to chat history too - most people find it boring!
