If you're on the Autism spectrum, there's a good chance you have an obsession or special interest. Use this forum to talk about it with others.

I designed leaflets for pretend events in this fake world, and even created a unique culture for it. Also, I came up with plenty of story ideas that I'd like to rewrite someday. My teachers would often remark that I "have a way with words". When I was in College I was offered a recommendation letter into a creative writing scholarship....
