Just to clarify - the “slightly autistic” comment was attributed to Joe Absolom, who plays Al Large, Bert’s son. Clunes spoke of “Aspergic”.

Yeah. That sounds like Al. :p

Though also I've seen Joe Absolom in other very different roles as well.

Though he did convince Aunt Ruth to hire him. Al's a quirky character. Though I liked Ruth and Louisa best of all in the series.
 
Welcome to the forum. I have only been to England once. l stayed in Crystal Palace area. Beautiful place. Do you enjoy cooking?

You will meet many here who were diagnosed late in life (I was 60). Stick around and you will get an understanding why your life was the way it was.

Hi @Lillyboo, I found out I was autistic in my sixties. I think some of my children (in their 30s) may be, too. Being here may give you insight into why your life has been the way it has. (I had a lot of life behind me to understand when I got here.) Hope looking around helps you - there’s lots to take in, and lots to participate in, but we’re all pretty friendly. Hope being here helps you.

I have loads of special interests. I’m Autistic and adhd so that changes often haha . At the moment my hobby is candle making … but pick a subject and it’s probably been my hobby at some point haha . How about you ? What are your hobbies?

I made some candles, and accidentally made an interesting one. I had a bit of leftover wax, so I made a ball by hand with soft wax and then gave it an apple shape and poked a wick in. Then I dipped it in some apple-green wax I had going a few times. However, my leftover wax was slightly red, so when the candle burned, it glowed red around the top, and reflected green around the bottom.
