Autism - The good kind of autism, not the one where it makes you put on a dress

[mister fireworks]

There are adult "normies" into those, but they still can be "autism magnets" as well. And since there are railroad industry workers such as conductors, there's likely also "normie" adults into trains. Though any usual "normie" adult approach to trains is rather different and likely less obsessive than that typical autistic "foamer" approach.

And yep, autists can have the "arrested development" you mention, and be mentally younger or less developed than they are physically. How much seems to vary by the severity of the autism, with severely autistic people (such as "Chris Chan") being very underdeveloped.np

Chris chan is a bad example because he had horrible, insane parents who fucked up literally everything they could, starting when he was a young child and then of course most famously by not simply cutting off the trolls' access to him once he started getting all the internet attention. His autism could've been substantially mitigated to the point where he might even seem fairly normal, be able to hold a job, have friends, etc if his parents hadn't failed in every possible respect.

Trains do seem to enjoy some kind of global fascination and I really cant put my finger on why, but you're right there is appeal that extends past autists and children. There's an old trope about the middle aged dad whose midlife crisis manifests into building a giant train set in his basement and fiddling around with it regularly. I will admit when I went to Japan I was very impressed and loved to watch the bullet trains come into the station.

What’s up with the spike of kiwis making threads about sentimental neurodivergent topics in the past couple days? First Relinquish makes a thread about ADD, now this.

Through my experience dealing with an autistic child whose around 13. He has the mental age of a 5 year old. He doesn't know what year it is nor could he tell time. Has trouble remembering provinces of Canada. He repeats the dialogue that is on the TV word to word. He often pushes buttons and often he doesn't know which one of possessions is his. He could barely string a sentence so communicating with him is difficult. I have supervised him many times because without any supervision, he could potentially end up in danger.

Why do autistics seem to always like trains? Trains are boring. They're stuck on linear tracks, and they're also stuck on the ground.

Dumb autists like trains.
Smart autists like attack helicopters.
They are literally the nearest thing to a hover tank we have today, just imagine a flying thing with an automatic cannon stronger than wwi and some wwii tanks, laser guided missiles, able to fly and maneuver with high speed in places like the mountains of the caucasus, south america, and afghanistan.
The apache is the best fucking thing ever and I wish for a world where the comanche helicopter went out of prototype testing and became mass produced, the eurocopter tiger is the nearest thing today to a comanche so it is cool.
Cobras are iconic due to their use in vietnam and also a fine machine even for today standards.
I love the mi-24, despite being antiquated and too big of a target for its own good it was a surprisingly maneuverable and agile, peak ruski engineering in a good way, like every weapon desingned by the soviet it has seen shit and been used in dozens of conflicts all around the world. (the ka-50 is propaganda and is shit so I consider it as non-existant)
Flying tanks are love, flying tanks are life if you don't get an undescriptible bliss by seeing one of these then I am sorry your disease is uncurable.
Note: I know about the problems presented by attack helicopters, they are not that useful outside their roles but they are still cool and this is a post about my fantasies and obsession with these weapons.
