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

  • It would be interesting to give some of these a personal anorak rating; zero to five anoraks. But perhaps not everyone would appreciate that. But it does perhaps beg the question of how much humour you all see in your own ob ....... interests. I sense it is quite a lot for most posters here.

    But we haven't done locomotives yet. I would give my own interest in that only a two anorak rating  I lived through the supposed end of steam. But, of course, there are still plenty of funky steam locos about. I would myself include the Garrett articulated locos at the Welsh Highland Railway, and the Double Fairlie Tank Engines of the Ffestiniog railway, neither of which I have actually ever seen F2F. Heritage diesels are just a tad too boring for me; despite my interest in driving diesel tractors.

    Yet again, I have quite a few subject yarns up my sleeve here. The main one, I can't really repeat, because it would give my ID away when there are still some good reasons not to share it with everyone. But the other one is something that almost all train nuts will understand. In the late 60s, I passed through Barry Dock. Unexpectedly, I came on this view of hundreds of locos, head to tail, on sidings about 6 lines deep that went on for well over a mile. Also loads of cargo wagons. It was the famous Dai Woodham's scrapyard, which actually ended up only scrapping a few locos. He deliberately saved most of the locos now used on UK heritage railways. Never seen anything like it!

    But actually, my five anorak rating probably goes to disused railways. I'd love to drive a steam loco, and I've met people who still do, but I'm not really very interested in hardcore stuff like wheel configurations.

    i love steam trains. totally amazing pieces of technology and engineering. How they managed to build some of the trains still amazes me today.
