Hello from running lover!!

Same for me, so I try to do it 15-20' because short periods just more frequently (every day or every few days) are more manageable. 

I also pick up rubbish as I go which makes it somewhat fun.

I hear you!!

But it does get easier, you are going through the toughest part, think of how far you've come. Believe me it's worth all the sweat. Each time you go out either to walk or run you are improving.

Yeah The Bridge. I had a very similar experience, which is probably why I've watched it twice. :⁠-⁠)

Ye I've done it with walking and running but trying to build now to the point where I can just run. But I'm just finding it tough to see through.

Ah I dont do well with series with subtitles. I either watch the people and forget to read the subtitles and that I can't actually understand what they're saying and then realise I have no idea what's going on. Or I read the subtitles and forget to watch the people and still have no idea what's going on.

Hi

I get that, willpower can be tricky. I struggle with that too, but my love of nature gets me out of the door and into a place where I feel comfortable. 

You could always try walking/running. I get it's tough but the dopamine afterwards feels good!!

The Bridge is really good

It's a scandi crime drama with subtitles 

You can watch it on viaplay on Amazon prime.

Nice to meet you and thank you for the warm welcome.

I wish I loved running. I've been trying to get into it because I want to get fitter and it's a cheap way to do so. But I find it boring and don't have very good will power so I give up easily. 

I do love animals and TV dramas though. I'm not sure I've watched the Bridge though.

Hi

I enjoy reading too, but I have difficulty concentrating for long periods. I have about 15 books on the go, along with audiobooks on Spotify.

Nice to meet you and thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi and welcome to the community. I also discovered that I was on the spectrum in my fifties. I'm now in my sixties and retired. I enjoy reading and playing video games.

Hi

I have a very wide range of musical interests 

But...

I have a song called Fortnight on repeat at the moment....don't know if you know it?

And thank you for the warm welcome too!!

Hi

I’m hoping to connect with people who understand some of the challenges of being autistic, especially later in life.

Hi Lonehare12 and welcome.

There are a good representation of later identified / diagnosed members here (sometimes referred to as the "latelings"!).

Thank you for sharing with us here; some of your interests - as it always helps to kickstart posts / replies.

I think you will find that The TV drama: The Bridge - has quite a number of fans here (count me in; on that show of hands voting).
