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’m into my classic cars and could go on forever until I run out of air talking about them... But I won’t do that as I don’t want to bore everybody ha-ha. My favourite classic has to be the Mk2 Ford Granada 2.8 Ghia X. My Dad owned a gold one which he bought in the 1980s and owned until he died. It was a stunning car inside and out. I’ve owned several since, currently got one a 2.0 GL manual which is in my yard and I’m restoring. Awesome cars.
Ships and boats, I know nothing about. I know the Titanic sank which they drilled into me at school and for that reason I am now petrified of the water and would never travel on a ship, boat or dinghy. Thank you school! ;)
I’ve ridden a few motorbikes but seemed to lack the balance for them and did fall off multiple times. No serious injury was sustained though I did break a finger on one occasion.
Trains... I love the old steam trains. I love the Orient Express which was and is a real train by the way. A more modern train I used to love was the First Great Western high speed. After my school my sisters and I would stand by the fence and watch them go by. If I hadn’t become a mechanic I would have totally become a train driver!
I’ve never been arrested. I did hit a guy once because he mucked my sister round and to me family are everything so he got what my dad used to call a good-hiding.
I find driving and working on cars extremely good for my anxiety!
