Hi and welcome to WP DjangoPuff .
A family member is currently studying Film at a London Uni(is a voice actor in video games/singer/musician currently) and is heading to Boston, US next January to study there for 6 months. He is on the spectrum too and stretching his comfort zone.
You sound very creative.
Re being on the spectrum … We all aspire to be happy, to feel and to be loved, to feel confident, and to be able to live a fulfilling life. Having autism does not destroy those potentials; it only alters their course. It changes how things must be accomplished. It creates a fascinating, complex individual who stands out and is remembered, even for little things. Instead of trying to push a “normal” life upon a person with Autism, the goal should be re-evaluated. Those who are autistic will always be autistic. They will have unusual behaviors and distinctly different thought patterns. They will have their personal routines and rituals. They will always exist apart from the regular flow of life. This is a blessing and a type of freedom. Working with it, not against can be a fine line at times. Knowing when to take breaks so as to avoid burnouts is important for some more than others.
Writing is very therapeutic, as is sewing/art/music/creating models etc for many of us here. Good to have you with us.
