It's so refreshing to be in the company of "my kind of people" who actually understand me as a person, people who don't judge me or think I'm odd because I'm not like them
Indeed. It's just comforting to know my thought processes aren't as unique as the NT world makes me think at times. But outside this domain, yeah....I remain pretty "guarded" about it all.
Though equally it's important to emphasize our differences as well in terms of a wide variety of traits and behaviors and their amplitude. And sensory issues too. Where the saying, "If you know one Aspie then you know one Aspie" still very much applies as well.
