Odd how the NT world thinks aspies lack compassion, empathy and feeling. In my short time on these forums I've received more kind words, encouragement and understanding then I've received from almost anywhere else. It could be said the therapeutic value of one aspie helping another is without parallel (saying stolen from another fellowship but applies well here).
The thing is I find myself reaching to these forums for support and understanding. Most of my NT friends have empathy and love in spades. Except when I try to explain how it feels to be unable to look into someone's eyes, the physical compulsion to wake up everyday at the same time or the way there seems to be a disconnect between my heart and my head. They just can't understand, they can listen and have compassion but they won't feel the same feelings they can't their brain is wired slightly different.
What I'm trying to say is thank you all for your support, this is my tribe and it is where I belong.
