As someone with Autism. It very much is a double edged sword but I did end up extremely Based.
Though other Autists I know have turned out as stereotypical Leftists.
I have difficulty relating to and interacting with people normally. Which is a regular occurrence with Autism. To the point where I prefer the company of Books, Video Games and Animals to people. Provided I’m not related to said people. I like the company of family well enough
I’ve learned enough to passably fake it long enough to work a shift or attend a College Class. But that’s all it is. Faking it.
And in my experience and from discussions I’ve had with others in similar situations to myself. It’s not overly hard for a High-Functioning Autist to grow somewhat resentful of their normal peers. Even downright Misanthropic.
Unlike some in my position. I haven’t come to hate people in general. Mostly I just find normal people just tiring.
My son was diagnosed @ 2-3 years of age. We were fortunate back then and I was active duty and got transferred back to the general DC area where he was integrated into the Head Start Program.
He too is exactly like you in regards to his social skill sets today as he celebrates his 34th birthday. Now I will go out on a limb and put it out there: my son was perfectly fine until he received his MMR shot. I protested at the time saying he was too early for it. I will go to my grave on this that autism is caused by vaccinations at way too early of an age. To this day when i see a couple with a new born, i plead with them to hold off on the combined multiple vaccines until they are older. But I digress.
You sound like a very intelligent individual who knows right from wrong, etc. Stay your course in life. Good things are coming your way. God bless you and yours!!!
