You have no idea how much pleasure I get from my hobby. I always thought it was just that’s how much people love hobbies, I thought certainly when someone is passionate about something that’s how they feel. I often look at people without hobbies and feel sad and wonder what they do with their time?

My hobby takes all my time, it is my life, when my life is over, my hobby is over, if my life changed that my hobby was impossible, well then my hobby would change to something as close to writing/reading/poetry as possible because otherwise it wouldn’t be life.

My best friends mother got run over by a car, she’s legally blind and deaf, but you know, she still enjoys her cigarettes, food and the bejewelled game on her ipad on extra large. She’s still very much alive and finds hobbies in the capacity she can.

That is autism to me, refusing to give up on a hobby (aka life)
