I used fast cars, motorcycles, drinking beer, fighting, chasing women, and having bad relationships to try to fit into society but the real issue was I was on the spectrum.

It took me a long  time to work out what the real issue was. Have you had a similar experience ?

did you up the adrenalin in your life to try and fit in ? like climbing ice mountains at night with a torch on your head !

did you drink far too much to overcome your lacking social skills ? Funny stories are most welcome as well of course we do need a laugh.

Have you made a complete tit of yourself ? lets us know please.

Did you join the army or the navy by mistake ?  lets us know please. 

does driving cars and/or motorcycles help calm your autism related anxiety or make it worse (eg road rage) ? lets us know

did autism cause you to be so aggressive you got arrested a lot,,,, how did you deal with it, how did your parents deal with it ?

telling jokes about your autism and autistic mistakes is most welcome

    i noticed that as well. all vehicles to me are female. I dont know why. 

    apparently this is why ( 5 second search )

    "Vehicles play a role of caregiver and provider. They are therefore seen as a she.

    Another reason is that men have strong bonds with their trucks and guns. So they describe them as she, because it’s an intimate bond. "

    All vehicles are traditionally described as being female in that women receive, carry and deliver embodiments of life on their life long journeys ~ with masculinity involving the energy of the spirit as being the captain / pilot / driver, and femininity involving the matter of the flesh as being the vessel / craft / car ~ and all that sort of thing.

    I would not know, since I do not drive. More Women are needed here, but it might be too late. But the weekend is coming, so, this Thread might go another week. & Tomorrow *might* be the last day for changing the title, but I am not sure. (...And only in editing this reply might I see that I perhaps *might* have used the word "might" a bit too much...)

    I found it interesting that I remark of this Car as a "He", yet You refer to it as a "She"...

    I am glad, in later retrospect however, that I also posted the picture below of the HARRIER. I sort of delay posting here, to sort of gaze at both the Aventador and that Harrier picture... 

    ...a 2 minute or more respectful silence...

    ........

    ..Sorry, got lost in thought, there. Um, Moving on! Anyone...?
