I imagine there's some kind of diagnostic medical test that evaluates your level of characteristics that would place you on the spectrum.

I don't believe myself to be autistic, but I've always had a unique personality type that allowed me to really excel at making friends with people from all different types of backgrounds and personalities.

It definitely made things complex in college though when it came to joining a fraternity. Since I was friends with the jocks AND the nerds and everyone in between, I was put into a position where no matter what fraternity I decided to join, the groups I didn't join would feel betrayed.

I ended up joining the fraternity that was already kicked off campus and known for being dark people who listened to country music, were homophobic, worked out, drank heavily, abused drugs and had multiple sexual partners, kek.

It was only reasonably that they were who I gravitated towards haha. That was my first experience with how tribalist people could be with each other. But I'm convinced if I had a few more years, I would have succeeded in bridging those gaps between many of the groups.
