Share your hyperfixations with me :)

There are lots of Lego fans on the forum, it appears. Can anybody tell me why it appeals to many autists? Me, I would get flustered because I know I'd struggle to construct anything.

At the moment it's art. I'm no good but i enjoy it.

I was sitting here one day listening to local radio, The guest was talking about her art group. The group was fubded by our local health authority, and was targeting  people who had mental problems and those who were older, alone, and sitting watching the four wals all day.......... I thought, that sounds like me. The autism was stopping me getting in touch, but eventually i plucked up the courage. The art can be anything using things from around the house, your garden, or even rubbish from the street. It's not just painting, we've done sculpture. and lots of writing,  short poems & stories. I surprised myself that i can write. When Covic came along we had to stop meeting but had weekly coffee mornings on Zoom  It's stopped for Christmas now, but as i said it's funded by the local health authority, lucky to still getting money. They call it, art on presciption and the funds are limited, and a lot more people, not just me, that need help. I've come to the end of my turn, my help, a few times now, then one of the artists will phone and say someone has dropped out  of the latest group, would you like to take their place ...... Yes Please.
