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.
Hi LateToTheParty I'm new and 56. Lifelong weirdo which sometimes I embrace and sometimes I hate. My ND husband gets it so much, then no more and I've no one else to chat to other than him and the doggo (although at least the dog listens quite well). I also like books (though not really much fiction - that has to be very special to interest me), films and my other likes are food, art/making "stuff", hiking and music. I'm a parent to adult twins, also a lefty.
Hey. that all sounds familiar. I love non fiction about philosophy and strangeness, I really enjoyed The Information recently, and Islands of Abandonment.
