No wonder you have a train special interest then.
EDIT: OH! Damn, you really are autistic. You're one of those people who is obsessed with trains and can memorise railway timetables and useless stuff like that. Congratulations.

"Not all do. Many children with autism don't like noise so they can't cope with trains. My daughter will never go on or near a train. Autistic children seem to have an obsession with one particular thing, in my daughter case its Disney cartoons."

Oh, I was hoping you'd read beyond the first response!
"Kids with autism enjoy things like this because it's predictable. For many children with autism the world is a very confusing place. They don't understand all the chaos of "typical" life around them. Other people are unpredictable, there's sensory overload from tv's, the lawn mower, dog barking, a fan, flourescent lights. The beauty of trains is the simplicity and order they restore. A sense of control of environment."
Incase you genuinely don't know you have autism, I've highlighted the symptoms you display from a list of autism symptoms: (Red = you have them, Green = you probably have them but I cant know for sure over the internet)
