Something i would really really want to try is blacksmithing, however i haven't got the faintest idea on how i would even get into it. Maybe you could try it if you can find some local training or whatever

Go rock climbing it's really fun
Programming, animating, web design... Awaiting your response of "not my thing".
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;40779255]Why not try it all? Not like you have anything to lose.[/QUOTE] Most of the things I can't do is because that it is hard to get the resources in town, and the prices are expensive as hell due to Australia's Prices. I would like to walk in a forest but our town doesn't have a forest, and I don't like walking around outside, mainly because of my past with bullies that still live in my town.
Graffiti as art, not vandalism
[QUOTE=Xonax;40779199]I generally don't like going outside in the day-time unless I really have to, I actually hate the day-time. I'd go out at night but I am not allowed. [/QUOTE] Honestly it seems like you live in a dungeon and hate everything outside, you have to help yourself before other can help you This is why homeschooling is terrible for kids, they don't develop social skills
[QUOTE=Xonax;40779238] I can't tell if you are serious or not.[/QUOTE] I am quite serious. I like old technology. How things worked back in the day and their significance of how the computers of today look and work like.
[QUOTE=Xonax;40778778]I don't go to school, I am homeschooled due to the school's teachers not understanding me or my brothers. [/QUOTE] can you elaborate on this
[QUOTE=TehWoodPcker;40779301]Graffiti as art, not vandalism[/QUOTE] Graffiti and vandalism are two separate things, but yeah. Maybe urbex?

I didn't want to bring it up since people in FP make fun of people with Autism. [QUOTE=TehWoodPcker;40779301]Graffiti as art, not vandalism[/QUOTE] That would be something I would be interested in, Trust me I am but I don't really think I'd stick with it and never really do it outside of my house. [QUOTE=Cowabanga;40779280]Programming, animating, web design... Awaiting your response of "not my thing".[/QUOTE] I am learning to program, it is something I do in my free-time, I do like animating but I can't draw for shit and I have made websites, but all looked crap. [QUOTE=elitehakor;40779278]Go rock climbing it's really fun[/QUOTE] Our town doesn't have rock climbing, except for once a year at a carnival, I try it every-time but I never really leave the ground but I have been getting better. [QUOTE=Angus725;40779260][url]http://www.nar.org/[/url] Model rockets?[/QUOTE] I would love to do it, but I don't think our town would really have the resources and such, unless you know any type of shop I could find that might have some of it.

It'll be funny. seriously though dont do this.

collect cassette tapes and play them on a trip to somewhere
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;40779352]Since you live in Australia, capture strange bugs and put them in people's houses, and film it. It'll be funny.[/QUOTE] Here is the catch, Australia doesn't really have strange bugs, plus I hardly see bugs anymore. [editline]25th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=EddieLTU;40779365]collect cassette tapes and play them on a trip to somewhere[/QUOTE] I lost my tape recorder, but it would be something I would do, sounds fun (mainly because if someone forgot to erase the content if they made it).
Reach out to the arts - take up drawing, produce/perform music (like my self), become a film-director/writer whatever floats yer boat

I didn't want to bring it up since people in FP make fun of people with Autism. [/QUOTE] i think it would be over all better for you if you went out more and talked to people and gradually gained social skills instead of being sheltered by your parents. i know it's hard and challenging especially for someone with your condition, but you'll be a happier person at the end of it.
[QUOTE=Xonax;40779358]What is urbex?[/QUOTE] Exploring old buildings.
[QUOTE=Xonax;40779358]What is urbex? I do like old technology, if old video game consoles count then I am already doing it.[/QUOTE] That's cool, what kind of stuff do you have?
Go downtown and irritate random people
Collecting stuff?
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;40779389]That's cool, what kind of stuff do you have?[/QUOTE] Atari's, SNES, Sega Master Systems, N64, Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, PS1, Gameboy's, and I think that is about it besides the Wii, 360, PS3, Wii-U, Etc. [QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;40779378]Exploring old buildings.[/QUOTE] I actually want to, but our town doesn't really have old buildings I am interested in except an old Kids Scout place. And someone still owns the place.

Just don't ask, it isn't a topic I want to talk about. [QUOTE=Dead Madman;40779375]Reach out to the arts - take up drawing, produce/perform music (like my self), become a film-director/writer whatever floats yer boat[/QUOTE] I have tried making music and I have tried acting.

[QUOTE=Gwandu;40779396]Go downtown and irritate random people[/QUOTE] I don't like people doing it to me so I won't do it to them.
One thing i can still think of is buying a record player and collecting vinyls, much like the tape casette thing but far cooler
You could buy a metal detector and search for stuff, it's really fun and addicting.
we can't do these hobbies for you man! you're shooting everything down
[QUOTE=TehWoodPcker;40779437]Based on what he said i don't think its the thing for him honestly. Some things i can still think of is buying a record player and collecting vinyls, much like the tape casette thing but far cooler[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind tbh, my Mom, Dad and Aunt has a stack of old Vinyl's, my brother owns a Vinyl player. But I wouldn't really listen to them due to the fact I never really listen to music. But for collecting, sure.

[QUOTE=johnsten;40779454]we can't do these hobbies for you man! you're shooting everything down[/QUOTE] I am not, I am putting thought into ones I like, due to all the replies I am getting, I can't really be clear.
