What is it with some Bus Enthusiasts, Seen this Bloke standing by his self in Park Lane taking Photos, so I decided to be my Friendly self and go over and introduce myself and try and generate a bit of Conversation as I do with other Enthusiasts, and he just leaned against the railings, looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, as if to say I really couldn't care less who you are, And some of them wonder why they get the "Respect" they think they Deserve, it's because you are Ignorant and Disrespectful to us Younger Enthusiasts.

Remember that the majority of enthusiasts are somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. Perhaps he didn't know how to respond to your well meaning intentions? Perhaps he just prefers his own company? I'm not sure that respect comes into it here....but you know what to do next time you see him, don't you???

I don't! Must be the one of the only ones who doesn't. Obviously is someone spoke to me, I'd reply, but you do have to consider the problems they may have.

Bit sterotypical regardless of who originally made the point (of which you forwarded it to here). It would be good if you could provide a bit of evidence on here to prove your point.

To be fair, at the Metrocentre Rally, I saw loads who I could tell at first glance had some form of autism or learning difficulty. There was the kid opening the doors and faffing around in the cabs, quite a few little kids, a guy who were going around with his mate, who sounded a bit autistic, and I also saw somebody in a wheelchair being pushed around (this could have been anything, like).

Not stereotypical at all, as a Higher Functioning Autism 'sufferer' myself. I have found that the majority of my enthusiast friends are on the spectrum, including one who is very wary of approaches from people regardless of intention. Indeed, I only found I have HFA recently and only as a result of some idle self research which was eventually professionally confirmed, after noticing the pattern amongst my friends.

Perhaps I should have expanded. There were obviously a lot of families, but I meant it as in there were a few families who appeared to have children who looked and acted a bit autistic.

I have Mild Aspergus Syndrome which is classed a form of Autism, Although I don't class myself as being Autistic, unlike Doctors or School Teachers that I have seen or had over the Years, I see myself as a Normal Person like anybody else and I expect to be treated the same as everybody else is treated.

If I wanted to I could probably claim all these different Benefits that are on offer to those with Autism, Not really Familiar with what they are as I haven't took the time to look into what they are, I probably should, but I never done because as I said above I don't see myself as Autistic, Here is a Example, My Mam often sees Various Stories in the Magazines she gets touching on Autism, to try and give me an Insight on how it affects others and how they've dealt with it etc, But I refuse to read it and tell her i'm not Interested, simply because of the above Reason.

Getting back on Topic of the Person I seen Today, I don't think for a Second he was Autistic, he looked Normal to me and was clearly content on being Ignorant, not 100% sure but I think he might be one of those Enthusiasts who own a Preserved Vehicle, but as I don't know who it is, so I can't give an Accurate Answer.

Its just my opinion but as i said before, i find that very stereotypical. Saying that most people who can class themselves as bus spotters have some form of autism is in my opinion unneeded. Just because you and a few of your friends have autism, does it really mean most bus spotters across the country are exactly the same?
