I think in some ways we are the unfortunates, as other organisms can enjoy their existence with a purity of mind and ... |

lol yeah that sucks. I don't like talking to unintelligent people either really. I think reading books is a far better alternative.  But yeah, nowadays I have quite a few friends and I do really enjoy communicating - I think I learnt to appreciate the world outside my books eventually. |

| (I'm a girl btw) Yeah, you're right, it can't really be defined by a set of characteristics. I just listed the ones that I've noticed most repeated in my research.

Most of the stuff in those tests I found was only really relevant to children, not aspie adults - thus the non-diagnosis. I do think (fro... |
