Let me tell you one thing: your description of yourself, if you except the two words AS, apply to most of the geeks I know (including myself)... Remember: "be yourself, no matter that they say".

You know, I sometimes wish that all people had AS. There'd be less misunderstandings and deceivings among us. Good luck with your goals. Respect. You know, I sometimes wish that all people had AS.

To put that burden on me, instead of the neurotypical to conformed to our Aspieness and Autie-savantism is Autism spectrum DISCRIMINATION -- Pure & Simple. I am not being made to feel like a Second-class Citizen made to Kiss some neurotypical's You-Know-What just to facilitate their psychological co-dependency on feeling accepted. They need to get a Shrink, an Autism language interpreter, or got to Neurotypical AA for their needy "acceptance"-dependency addictions.
