So I'm writing this (partly) because I feel a bit bad at not being able to participate in the film club organised by Lotus (whom the forum won't let me tag - as it likes to be difficult) but also because I find myself watching more and more factual information videos online created by these people who go off and find content that some of us may find interesting.
I say 'may' and clearly they do - because many of these amass many hundreds of thousands of followers, if not more.
There's all kinds of content creator - but being the traditional Autistic I am, in some ways, I thought I'd focus on the specific areas of travel, transport and food.
Food is a strange one. After all - we all need it - but we are all so different when it comes to dietary, sensory & cultural requirements. But I do find it interesting to watch these people as they head off around the UK and the world, sampling various cuisines - in anything from Michelin starred restaurants to street food style selling vendors - whilst reviewing the product and giving you a glimpse of the surroundings too (and that to me gives inspiration for possible travel in future).
KALANI & SAV or GARY EATS for example. I don't know why these in particular.
Then the transport. You've got people who focus on Trains. Trams. Buses. Ferries. Cruises. Whatever your favoured means of transport, some are out there vlogging it. Some are making it their business to visit every station, every port, airport, tram stop and review every aspect of transportation we have here in the UK, in Europe and even further afield. I find it interesting, even though I'm well aware it might send others to sleep.
GLoves Trains STEVE MARSH SIMON WILSON just some examples
So here's what I am doing when others might be settling down to watch a nice film. I can't concentrate for 90 mins. But I can do 20 mins if I don't have to actually look at the screen the whole time, and can do other things while listening. It isn't ideal - but this is what ADHD and anxiety have reduced me to.
Happy viewing all !!
