Hi,
I have always been that weird kid/guy around. For 41 years now. When I was 8 years old my parents divorced and we started to move around with my mom.
I had to change school once or twice a year but I somehow learnt to observe people and play my part as required. I understood that humans are quite simple creatures - play along and let them speak and things roll out smooth. Look in to eyes, give a firm handshake, smile alot and hug back when hugged (these were hard lesson to learn). Ask questions, but not too many or difficult.
These skills lead me to be a salesguy. Even though I usually hate most of th social situations. But still now I am sales director. Unhappy one for sure, but pays the bills. Tragic actually.
Few years ago one of my clients asked me that am I sure that I am not aspie (She was a mom of 3 autistic kids)? Started to read more about asperger and am pretty sure that I am one. Or then just really really weird. Or both.
I love straight talk (hate small talk, it is so uninformative), hate talking to strange people, have not that many real friends beside of my wife. I get along with people when I put my normal mask on.
I am fascinated about neurology, space, paranormal and conspiracy theories, and science.
I dont know why I came to here. Guess I am lonely in some way. And I am also wondering if I should go check if I get official diagnose. Not sure though if it is wise. Most propably would need to keep it secret to keep my job. What do you think?
