Hey, nice to meet you, I'm autistic and hoping this will be a good year as I've struggled mentally for the last couple of years. Finally given mental health services the push as they didn't understand autism and I'm already feeling better.
My hobbies and interests are classic cars, music and writing. I like to collect Lego as well.
Looking forward to making some friends here and hopefully finding some understanding.
Have a good day.
Hi and welcome to the forum, my music era is 60’s to 90’s, I restore classic cars for a living, only an autistic person has an eye for detail and research that others don’t get!
Your job is obviously very well suited to your autistic neurology! What is your favourite car to work on?
I rarely like to restore the same model of car twice, I love the learning everything about that particular car maker and how they think. I basically need to be fed with knowledge, I’m restoring an E type Jaguar at the moment and a VW Beetle, I find the Beetle more interesting, I can see how much thought was put into making every part of it very cheaply made but brilliantly functional. The people’s car. The designer was Ferdinand Porsche, I’ve worked on some of his later creations!
Your job sounds really cool! You are a knowledge hoover! I have just researched both the VW Beetle and the E Type Jaguar, they are very aesthetically pleasing, I can definitely see why you enjoy working on them.

I presume classic cars are one of your dedicated interests?
