Doing my usual photography and trying to be non autistic by intentionally behaving opposite to typical autistic behaviour. Such as trying out new walking routes rather than sticking to routines.
Yesterday I met an acquaintance who had just successfully appealed to get his ESA. He's not autistic but has mental health issues. He described his appeal as very traumatic and how he lost his temper and walked out.
Today I met more funny people on my walk. One woman walking door to door in her slippers and nightdress with gown.
Had a long walk along the canal, where I mostly met joggers, cyclists, hikers, dog walkers and anglers. Several complete strangers said hello to me.
But the real NT people were in crowded pubs, one had over 100 people packed like sardines all talking loudly in an outside beer garden. I don't know how they can stand it?

Kudos for walking in different directions and all those people encounters, sometimes I walk our spotty dog and always dread it when I see someone on a path, but usually they are friendly and the 'hello' is quite encouraging. There are a lot of funny people out there and I guess we are some of them.
I wonder how many anglers etc. of older generations are ND, seems quite likely that it is a lot.
I saw on another thread that you are going for an interview for a council call centre, be careful with that one, it may be different, but we have a very mentally robust friend that did that job for ten years and it brought him to his knees depression wise, I really don't mean to be discouraging but red flags went up for me when I read that, depending on the exact role it can be a poisoned chalice because funds are cut so hard.
