So, what did autists/spergs used to do before the invention of the internet? Nowadays it seems like trey are primarily occupied by browsing anonymous imageboards/gaming forums and social sites, but what was usually the time spender before this age? Were they just sitting around, looking at their shoes/walking around in nature, noticing patterns on the trees? I really do wonder about that.

You'd need to ask a robot who's 40+ and I'm pretty sure most robots either end up becoming wagekeks, junkies/streetbums, or killing themselves.

They played video games.
Before that it was
>television
>radio (both listening and HAM)
>maybe electronics (beside radio)?
and even before that
>books
>writing
>drawing
>collecting things (such as stamps or coins)
>models
>math, physics, chemistry.

I'd imagine that inclination towards drugs would be quite strong. I could see plenty of autists ending up on opiates and/or sitting in cafes/taverns drinking absinthe or something similar.
Mostly like neets now, just without the computer. They would be in their home, shitposting by writing spergy letters to anyone, and claiming they are working on the next big artist/philisopher thing.

Art, reading, hobbies, introvert stuff, clubs, games, drugs, shit
my dad used to buy all sorts of books, shit like how to books and craft books and stories written by local authors and auto books and fact books and books on rocks and minerals, music books, and he had a full set of encyclopedias, electronics, magazines, etc. he read all of those books and probably more than any of us here but he's just some old nerd lel he's where I get it from, love my dad
Some had hobbies and met up with others who had those hobbies and were happy.
Some were still miserable turds with no lives and all they did was consume media.
Nowadays most people like that just consume media and are fucking miserable because its easier to get a miniscule amount of gratification playing videogames or shit posting than have a hobby that requires work but will give them far more gratification.
