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.

  • prefer countryside and the peace, no sound but the sound of a river and the trees blowing in the wind and the sound of birds. better that way.

    but a day visit to a city can be good for a change, probably to make the difference between the 2 sink in more and ofcourse to provide different type of scenery once in a while...if you feel lonely a walk in a busy town or city could probably help get rid of that lonely feeling, sit down and watch people go about their business, probably good to not feel lonely like that.

    Thanks Caelus

    I hadn't really thought about it like that.  I do like being around people but find any deep interaction very draining.  Being close to lots of people in a city might be something I enjoy because I get that sense of community without having to put in much effort!
