Hi everyone. I am Elle, My son Harry is Autistic and I have joined this site on his behalf because he is obsessed with lights and lampposts. He is 8 years old and constantly watching YouTube videos of street lights and lampposts.
His fascination started at around age 5/6.
HE is now hoping to start a collection of old street lights that are being replaced by the council for the new LED style lights.
He is also obsessed with smoke alarms and heat detectors and has a HUGE collection of these. Does anyone else?
Other things he has also developed a strong interest in is Pylons, Wind Turbines and he likes certain wheels on cars.
Oh and he also has a light bulb collection!

I do have mild autism, but now am managed with this obsession with my lighting collection along with computers and car spotting.

I think a lot of people on this site are somewhere on the autistic spectrum, I know I am. I've never been officially diagnosed, but all the symptoms fit. I cope as well as I can, although there are some things that cause problems.
Anyway, you both take care, and enjoy the site. Any problems, get in touch, I'm here to help :love:
By the way, your profile picture is sideways ;D

Yes, the holes on this site come in every shape you can think of, so there'll be no problem about fitting in. :love:

I too as a kid was fascinated by power lines, streetlights, glass insulators. Other things like flood control canals, storm drain systems, and fire sprinklers. My late mother actually had saved a few drawings I did in elementary school. I saw them and saw the closeness to reality of them.
