An introduction I guess, I mean, I'm new and that seems to be the point of "introduce yourself", I'm terrible at titles.

Hi! I'm 19 (M) and was officially diagnosed with "high functioning autism" about 10 years ago.

My biggest interest is trains and railways, but I do also like to read (I have library cards in 4 different municipals, there might be a connection), skiing (cross country), to watch tv programs about nature (especially BBC's) and science. I like languages, I speak Swedish fluent (also English of course), I've read German in school and I've borrowed a course in Japanese and French (not like I've been bothered using them yet). I like to write in general but my imagination is really poor. The same goes for drawing. I've recently started to read some psychology and it seems interesting, some parts of it at least, maybe, just maybe, I'll try to read it at university next year. I tried to read maths at a university far away from home this autumn but it didn't really work out well. Music ... well I listen mostly pop I think, but it can be whatever I find interesting and at the latest it's been pretty much music written by a doctor.

I'm terrible at introductions too.

I've no idea what I should use the tags for either, but these to made sense for my brain.

I feel so bad for being so stupid as I apparently have been that I don't understand anything. I'm sorry. Cry

  • Hello and wellcome to the forum. I like trains as well and quite like the standard steam loco's and class 37 locos as well as the AC class 86/87/90 loco's. I enjoy train journeys and look forward to being able to travel again in the new year.

  • Hi! Cool! The standard loco is indeed a really nice one. Lovely locos!!

    (It has been ridiculously difficult to find other autists who like trains, and people have even said "Wow, someone that is like the stereotype", I find it kind of funny, but it seems quite easy here!)
