Hello,
I got diagnosed 7months ago, just before my 28th birthday. Ever since people have been telling me that all my social issues will be solved by going on forums and finding people who share my interests, but the problem is I don't really have any. I like things but not so intently that a person's negative opinion about them wouldn't make me consider dropping that interest. And I don't know lots about stuff I like. I like movies but like I've never seen most of the big ones people seem to always want to talk about. I remember when I heard my friends watched Community I was like "Oooh I've seen that!!" And then they made all these references I didn't get and I started to wonder if I'd missed half the show.
So yeah, here's me trying to join a community forum when I don't even know what I want to talk about with you
My special interests include Napoleonic period cavalry, Byzantine history, taxonomy and evolution, I haven't inflicted them on anyone so far in posts on this forum, so I think you should be OK.
You know the question they ask, "I usually notice car number plates or similar strings of information", I answered yes and left it there. I didn’t tell them that I’ve got about 100 actual car number plates and can name on demand which cars they came from! I don’t think they would understand.
I answered no. However, I do look at them, but they only interest me if they suggest words.
Lol, that's so cool. They have no idea, they couldn't possibly understand
