Maybe this is why I often find myself getting along so much better with Gen Zers than people my own age.
its weird beiing autistic because i think i have normal interests then i go up to someone my age and they have no idea what im talking about.
#They're still passionate about the things they love#Allistic people my age tend to lose that passion#I recall reuniting with my childhood best friend...#She just looked blank when I tried to engage her about the things that'd meant the world to us as teenagers#I was talking eagerly with an 18 y/o girl about our shared interest in Formula One#Her mum - I'm closer to her age - assumed I was just trying to bring her troubled daughter out of her shell#Nope - this is genuine and intense enthusiasm for my special interest#I so rarely find someone to share it with IRL#Even those who are also keen on F1 are eventually like - ok don't go on about it
