University

Autistic Not Alien
7 months ago

Now that I know that I’m autistic, I understand why I loved university so much and why I think about it so often. I had almost complete freedom, which for me often meant wandering around Cambridge on my own and occasionally *thinking* about studying. University was an escape when I needed it most. It was a self-contained universe, full of opportunities (if I could be bothered to take them). It was a world away from work and responsibilities and the general grind of life that we’re expected to tolerate. And I met my favourite people there.

    So glad you had a great experience at university!

    I completely understand why it suits many of us autistics, the depth of learning and self directed education is very natural for us because of our monotropic neurology.

    Thanks for sharing your video.
