Thanks Robert, I wasn't aware of that (slaps myself on back of head  ) Being autistic myself, although not as badly affected as some people, I'm all too aware of the problems. My main one at the moment is the severe phobia of face masks I've developed in the last 12 months, I just wish it would end soon so we can get our lives back here

How did I not know this?  I have high-functioning autism. One of the hardest things for me is eye contact and social interaction.

First time I've heard about this, pretty nice to know it's a thing though. (was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was like 11 but I guess now it's called high functioning autism so I'm guessing this applies to me) It doesn't affect me much anymore and I've gotten really good at hiding it but I'm now starting to realize that I probably see the world a LOT differently from normal/neurotypical people (or however you spell that). Whether or not that's a good thing, I don't know.

I'm not autistic but I feel bad for the people that are and the troubles they go through.
