I decided to try an “autistic hobby” to see if i like it 😁

Since the doctor told me i have autism and wanted me to learn about myself, i was just feeling a little weird about it. Idk what made me think autistic people like lego kits (maybe they dont maybe they do idk) but i thought i’d see if i enjoyed it since i spend most my time watching the same stuff on tv over and over and worrying about stuff.

I bought two of the cheaper kits. And i put them together tonight. And i enjoyed it :partying_face:. It kept me fully occupied and i didnt have any room in my mind to worry.

I hope this isnt offensive. I just wanted to share what i made.

Thats cool. I used to have these massive lego star wars space ships that were pretty nice. Loved them.
I dont really have much in the way of creative hobbies these days except maybe journaling sometimes. I’d like to get back into a bit of art or something. Just havent exercised that muscle for so long i think what i would produce would be pretty mediocre. I might try some sketching today since youve inspired me a little. Thanks haha.

Both turned out great. Did you follow the instructions or figured out the pieces fit yourself?

I know adults without dxes who do lego. Some of the kits are really complicated and it’s like a lot of model building. The process of creating something from a kit can be very theraputic. It’s not a bad hobby to have.

I’m considering starting collecting lego as a hobby because I can’t do Warhammer because of wrist pain. It’s kind of similar hobbies in a way.

Legos are amazing fun. I adore Legoland because they are very aware of their target audience. They have a few “quiet rooms” with bean bags, mood lighting, and soft music where you can go to decompress if the park gets overwhelming.

it took me 1 hr to get through one bag…im estimating it will take at least 24 hrs of building time to finish this

Sweet!

It is amazing how much build time is required for some of these sets.

Enjoy!

Do a puzzle but have all the pieces flipped upside down. Thats probably an autistic way of doing puzzles.
