As a side note: I IM'ed most of that paragraph to a friend here, and he said: "I've more or less come to the conclusion that folks like you and I are coloring with essentially the same crayons as most of the folks out there, it's just that we are also seeing a lot more complexity and it can be overwhelming." Maybe, but damn it, it's just so nice when the subconscious can take over. Processing's hard work.
I would agree with what your friend said wholeheartedly. And also with what you said. I'd have more to say on that expect I think they/you said it pretty elegantly. :)
As for the asperger's traits...I always thought that the people who are really on that spectrum don't become comfortable with the nuances and emotive aspects of social interactions, even if they become very good at following the rules and playing the roles?
