| It always seems to me that cricket is a perfect autistic sport to watch. Not too much sensory stimulation, plus lots of stats and analysis. So I was just wondering if anyone else is out there watching. |

| I really enjoyed the first five(ish) years of Red Dwarf. I remember watching the first ever episode, and it instantly became appointment viewing every week. I loved Blakes 7, certainly up until Blake left (spoiler alert). I had a crush on Avon for a while. Although a few episodes are so offensively ... |

| I think the dodgy bits of old doctor who are half the fun. I make a sport out of spotting discontinuities, or reused props. I get probably more fun these days learning about behind the scenes things than I do from watching the show. In the UK you can sort of map social changes over the last 60 years... |

| It's very difficult to categorise doctor who because there is such varieties in tone and quality over its almost 60 year history. Compared to Star Wars and Star Trek, it's much more of an anthology show, which dips into various sci-fi, fantasy and horror tropes. I would argue that Star Wars is the l... |

| Typically folk have a special fondness for their first Doctor. Mine was Tom Baker; which was yours? However, I hold all of the classic Doctor's in high esteem. The main doctor for me as a child growing up was Peter Davison. I still watch his episodes just because I find them comforting. But objecti... |

Hi (I'm new too)
I know what you mean about social media. I much prefer a good old fashioned forum. When I go on social media I can almost feel the algorithms poking away to make me angry and scared. It just doesn't feel like a safe environment for me. |

| Thank you all so much for a warm welcome. I was expecting to have to fight my doctor to get a referral. But instead he just looked at me and said "yep ok, let's do the paperwork". I've been doing a lot of trauma therapy over the last few years. To my surprise as my c-ptsd symptoms became m... |

| Hi I'm a 47 year old woman living in the UK. Today I have a doctors appointment to get my referral for an assessment. As a child I was an outcast, I was dumped with the other 'slow' kids to be ignored and bullied. To my parents I was an embarrassment, and a mistake. As teenager I learned to mask. As... |
