Why are autists attracted to trains so much? fuck i love trains

Autism probably

Not autistic but I love trains too.

I think it's more because I enjoy steampunk shit so much though.

Why are they allowed to take advantage of autists loving trains?

What's your favourite train?
Mine is the Flying Scotsman

Autistic individuals can't handle dynamic interactions, which is why socialization is hard for them. Trains are a 2 dimensional certainty. It brings comfort to autistic people as a result.

I lke trains, but train stations have a bigger effect on me personally.

>26 years old and still play with toy trains
The autism is real.

>>32012528
Because trains are fucking great some of my fondest memories where spent playing with Train sets

>>32012528
For many autists:
They are very predictable because they run on tracks
They have lots of schedules and timetables for autists to memorize
They're loud and cool but as noted predictable and quite docile so long as you're not on the tracks
There are lots of makes and models to memorize

Personally I'm still drawn to them because I childishly view them as cool. I have an ASD diagnosis but I'm more drawn to planes. Describing my love for both planes and trains is hard because really it's just a strong feeling of attraction and "aesthetic" to flying or speeding along tracks. I can't name many trains (and those I can are mostly the British-Rail name instead of class number, So Sprinter/Pacer/Turbostar instead of say Class 145/150/180 or whatever it is.)

I tend not to memorize performance, just make and model.

holy shit this is me......do I have autism
I love toy trains though and used to stack up blocks when I was a baby

I think airplanes are cooler desu.

>>32012528
Shit I don't even go anywhere if the train doesn't go there. Places that trains don't go to are worthless trash.

I work in a hobby store and I see a lot of men in their mid 30's buying expensive model trains, it isn't that uncommon, that shit can be pretty expensive for youngsters.

>tfw you also loved trains as a kid
The more i look back on my childhood the more i realise how autistic i was and continue to be

>>32013010
I still play with Thomas and friends train sets, the sort with tracks designed for 3 year olds.

I rode a train yesterday.

I'm into pre-WWII stuff specifically. I haven' bought anything new in years, but from what I've seen the prices have been coming down quite a bit lately, so I might get back into buying soon.

I went to an train market once mostly catering to the pre-WWII through mid-century era and I think I was the only person there under 40. Most were baby boomers or older. Kind of wish there were more young adults involved in the hobby.

Trains are cooler than some of the stuff modern autists are obsessed with (Sonic the hedgehog, My Little Pony, anime etc.)

>>32013314
