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.

  • For me, it is the same reason I struggle in noisy or busy social environments, because I can't differentiate between a noise I need to focus on and all the others around. It's just a wall of hum and hiss.

    Also, I think I perceive all noise and movement as a potential threat, so a city feels like a medieval warzone to my senses
