No love for literature?

[NecroCurator]

I cannot help but notice, that there doesn't seem to be a category here for literature. Please tell me, that I am mistaken or blind or something. Is this an american thing, or don't aspies read?

I love to read and even turned a spare bedroom in my house into a library. You can never have enough room for books, in my humble opinion.

No I think what you are observing is the fact that people use electronic devices so you don’t see them reading paper books ,just so you know originally the first few !!!!members were all British ,there were one or two American members, I would be shocked if autistic people didn’t read .

I would guess many Aspies are avid readers. It's a form of communication/learning that doesn't stress us out (unless the autism comes with a disability related to reading). Though in my case the subjects are mostly limited to my special interest areas.

My wife and I are huge bookworms but we moved to electronic reading devices a few years ago. We both love a proper book but we only have so much room to store them so ebooks were the way to go.
If you see me in a waiting room with my nose in a phone or tablet, I won't be tweeting or catching up with gossip, I'll be deep in a novel or researching for a project.
There's plenty of voracious readers here and I'm one of them,

Same here also attempting writing my own.

My boyfriend and I have a few boxes of books sitting in our garage because our bookcases are full, yet we keep buying more books because reading is what? Fundamental!

I used to read a lot, total bookworm, encylopaedias, maps, dictionaries, novels, but meh it don't get you social skills.

It seems you asked about a category and were then shown many threads, all of which were posted in different categories. So I wouldn't say you missed anything, unless I did too!

 

[tree]

Yeah, I'd say you did miss something.
The topic.

In this case it was the topic, not the category that was essential.

People take different approaches to the same topic, so threads may
deal with related material, but appear in different areas.
