    everyone on this site seems to struggle with irl social interaction

    Yeah the site has a sizable neurodiverse community and we have spent all our lives being made to justify to others why we don’t just “be normal.”

      I’m on the spectrum, the spectrum isn’t aligned against sports except under some archaic jock/nerd viewpoint. I know of at least a few big athletes that are out about being on the spectrum. Lots of special interest material to be found. Many sports, especially rock climbing & BJJ, that pair very well with neuroatypical makeup due to the huge depth of techniques to be learned.

        Okay but what if sports aren’t one of my special interests

        I mean I enjoyed parkour back when I was in the right environment for it but the average prole I’m meant to appeal to probably doesn’t know or care much about parkour

          I would say that is fine, and was the case for me for a long time too, but don’t foreclose yourself to the idea that it could be one of your interests in the future.
