So I'm on the spectrum, it seems, and this might explain why I've struggled to make and keep friends all my life. In 55 and happily married but my NT wife, love her to bits, finds me hard going and it's good to talk to others who have similar brains. She calls me her "weirdo" sometimes and she's not wrong, I guess ND is a kind of weirdness and I don't mind the label. I guess I get intense at times, and I'm aloof at other times. I can be grumpy but mostly I'm very optimistic.
I like books, art, films, writing and reading. I have no time for bigots or people who use the phrase "common sense '. I hope to get my novel finished this year. Lefty, parent of two teens, LGBT ally. Would love to chat if you're similarly weird.
Hello LateToTheParty, my name is Joseph. I am also a fan of films and reading! What sort of things do you like to read? What is your novel about if you don't mind me asking. Feel free to connect and keep in touch
Hi and thanks for responding. I am an eclectic reader, you can join me on Goodreads if that's your thing: https://www.goodreads.com/alhatchauthor I read contemporary fiction and Sci Fi mostly, Currently obsessed with Blake Crouch, also Iain Banks, Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman. But I've tried to catch up with the classics and read Frankenstein last year and much more. My novel is provisionally entitled "Meltdown Expected" and is about a struggling punk guitarist who works in IT to pay the bills, and follows his life from teenage years to mid-life crisis. It's not at all autobiographical, oh no!
