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 don’t like london. It’s the crowds more than the noise. I like personal space. The countryside is largely boring. Sure to visit  on a sunny day for an hour or two is nice but I wouldn’t want to live there. The activity of the city suits me better. The noise is even comforting sometimes. Just so long as I don’t have to ride on a bus / train packed like sardines or elbow my way down the street the city is great … just not ones as crowded as london.
