* this thread needs YOU ! *, Which car/motorbike/tractor/drone/plane/skateboard/surfboard/boat/train is the coolest ever

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 tried to join the army, but I was too aggressive and got arrested a lot prior to that, mainly because I was drinking far too much to overcome my lacking social skills, so they kicked me out before I swore my oath. I feel like I made a complete tit of myself. Afterward, I went to my mate's house and took his car for a spin to calm my autism-related anxiety.

  • see we all do it. Grinning Its a learning experience for us all.  You can try again :) ( join the army  try the TA). The Army likes people who try alot ! 

    I stopped drinking about 5 years ago I didnt want to contribute anymore to an industry which harms so many people young and old. Did me a lot of good. Cleared my head quite a bit.

    BTW I drank to relieve my anxiety for 20 years.

  • ( ...I once thought about joining the Army also. But that was when I found out that they do not accept people with Asthma, which did then make sense to Me, despite it excluding a lot of people. Though If they said this in the first place it would cut out a lot of time-wasting. (...No, I am not bitter!) )
