I'm told that autistic people have areas of special interest, mine is humans, I know I am one, I know others are too, but I don't understand my own species, so I study them, I didn't realise until a year or so ago that I was doing it. I used to be a counsellor and was quite good at it, I think it was because of not despite being autistic, it allows me to see others problems as an abstract whilst still empathising. I think we get told we're not good with emotions, personally I think that rubbish, we might feel overwhelmed by them and some people seem to have storm force auras, but we do feel.
What are your specialisms and interests?
I have had many. some I revisit and I keep libraries of some of them to revisit. My current one is focused on legacy. I am almost 70 and was recently on a fire that destroyed most all of my paintings that the gallery did not have at the time. I have worked in many genres so I also have been making sure everything is documented and on a remote server somewhere and on a private server I setup.
I've also been enjoying my music library a great deal and preparing some playlists of pop music from the 50s.
