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 do like driving tractors, but haven't really driven one since the early 90s. My choice would be something like a Ferguson T20 or a Fordson Major. But numerous others too. (I suspect Aidie will know what I'm talking about. ;-)) Harry Ferguson would also go down in history for me, as the undoubted originator of 'modern' tractors. A very practical talent!

    I could also rave on for hours about Unimogs, but have never actually driven one. And as Unimogs are a bit of a hybrid vehicle, I do also like 4-wheel drives. I used to have great fun driving a Haflinger pick-up, as part of my supervisory duties on a fruit farm.

    In future, I would like to learn how to drive a JCB backhoe properly. I have driven one before, when I worked in construction.

    last time i drove a tractor i removed an entire gate post with the trailer -  I was 10 at the time. I bought a house / small holding and regret not buying the Fergie  sitting in the field. I could have healed my tractor issue with a bit of practice and they look so cute sitting in a field.  I would love a spin in a unimog ( i had to look it up ) they look like serious fun.   you have been about a bit just going by your vehicle range lol

    I also remember that joke, just because they were so 'blocky' back then. But I respected Skodas because at the same time, I was also told that they were "built like Tanks". In Cars I sat in, I was told that if they crashed into a Skoda, the other Car would always come off worst (Steel vs. Aluminium)...  :-)

    ha ha yea I remember that Skoda joke doing the rounds I also remember some owners who had several Skodas so they could swap bits in and out as needed. Skoda have moved a way up market now and are the choice for Taxi drivers which shows their reliability.

    Your tractor prank story was a great read cheered me up from a stressful day at work Slight smile
