A little about my interests

Hi everyone,

I think that one of the nicest parts of this community is this section, so I thought I'd share some of my interests with you all.

My interests presently are:

History and mythology from ancient Greece and Rome,

Writing fiction(although I haven't really written anything for a little while)

Cats, I LOVE them, they're so wonderfully quiet and, just as importantly, not in your face all the time

Starwars is life, I even liked the sequels, especially The Phantom Menace and The Revenge of the Sith. Darth Maul was woefully underused, sadly. I am so looking forward to seeing the new films, too. Can't wait for them to come out on DVD.

Star Trek to a lesser degree, although there hasn't really been a new series for quite some time to maintain my interest, and I have seen all the original and later series many, many times, and, of course, the films.

Game of Thrones is a brilliant series, and I can't wait for season 6 to come out on Amazon.

The Walking Dead is a great favourite of mine too, I own all of the first five series, and am looking forward to getting season 6 on Amazon.

I also take a keen interest in science(although I have not studied it to any great degree), Autism, which I have obsessively studied over the last few months and, finally, because I am disabled I also take a keen interest in my health, although that probably isn't a positive thing because that interest does via into hypochondriac territory, sadly.

Just a little about me, and I look forward to reading about people with other interests, and especially people with interests similar to mine if anyone would like to share.

  • Thank you buffy,

    I have made a list of the reasons that make me believe I am on the autistic spectrum too. One of the main reasons that makes me believe it is my sensory problems. I have a great deal of problems with being around constant loud noise/loud conversation, as well as with bright or flashing light, and this makes me think that my problems are not caused by anxiety or depression.

    I have problems maintaining eye contact as well, especially if i don't know the person well, or I am not interested in what they are saying.

    Hopefully, when I do go to see my GP to be referred for an assessment they will recognise some of the aspects of autism in my behaviour.

    Thanks again for your advice, it is really appreciated.
