    *Goes on to explain in excruciating detail his special area of interest and keeps going on and on long after the lady has clearly lost interest and isn’t listening anymore. She tries to walk away, but he chases after her and continues without skipping a beat. She asked for this. She will get all of it.

        My son. It’s tanks. He’s 12 and can go on for hours about them, rattling off their armor thickness (in mm), caliber of their guns, horsepower of their engines, declination and traverse speeds of their turrets, etc. I took him to a tank museum one time, and no shit a quarter mile from the museum he sees the tank out front and he goes: “That’s a Sherman M4A4!!” Ten minutes later we’re parked and walking up to the museum, I look at the tiny info placard, M4A4, think to myself: “What the fuck.”

          On first skim of this comment I thought these were details about trains and I was very concerned about how weaponized trains had become.

      Depends on the flavour of autism, I guess. My partner’s autistic and can remember some things pretty well, but struggles a lot with others.

        I have a friend on the spectrum and he knows almost every single '80s B and C grade horror flick ever released on VHS by heart.

        He has turned me on to some really interesting and freaky movies.

    Is it model trains only or trains on models too?
