City Vs Country living

Jay

Hi all

I’m not diagnosed and am asking for assessment at the moment having had a few family members suggest it and scoring highly on all the AQs etc. 

My question is whether anyone has a preference for city or countryside. I actually like to visit both the busy city and peaceful countryside although I kind of live in the suburbs. I love to spend a day in the London museums and hiking through a national park. 

I feel like enjoying the hustle and bustle of London doesn’t sound very autistic but I know people vary a lot so I’d be interested to hear anyone’s thoughts. 

In general, I’m moving from ‘I need to get an assessment, this could explain my life’s struggles’ to ‘I’m a complete fraud, what am I even thinking’ at the moment.

Thanks for any comments.

    I was in the city from when I was born to age 12. I'm 26 now and have been living in the country for years. I prefer it wouldn't ever want to live in the city again. Cities are built up, loud and there's not a lot of room to breathe, everyone's on top of one another. But in the country I'm surrounded by fields of green grass and sheep.

    Thanks, this looks beautiful and very calming. We have just had a holiday in the Scottish highlands and Lake District and this reminds me of the view from our hotel room in the lakes (maybe the best Travelodge view in the country!).
