Do black aspies like sports?

Post Reply New Topic

I was in a class my senior year of high school designed for people with Aspergers. Most of them weren't interested in sports at all except for the three black guys that were in the class. None of the white people were interested in sports at all. (with the exception of me i'm white) The black guys enjoyed talking about sports and watched them on TV.


So i'm wondering if you're a black guy with Aspergers, are you more likely to enjoy watching/playing sports compared to white people with Aspergers?

When I was a kid I didn't play sports. This was either due to my autism or the fact I started wearing glasses around 10. Consequently, I had no interest in it. I did get into gymnastics only because I thought it was a viable substitute for ballet which I was into at the time.

Years went by and I paid no attention to sports. None, zero, zip. I developed a little crush on the local store clerk (he was a hottie) and he used to talk about football to the customers. I thought, gee, if I got into football, maybe he'd talk to me, too. So I did. He's since left the store but I still watch football. Mainly I just pay attention to the Seahawks, but still.
