Long story short: I've almost been a bit 'different' than most other people and, for the life if me I wasn't able to figure it out despite my being in the top 5% percentile of intelligence in the USA. It's as if my brain's shorted out despite my never being much of a party animal, etc.

Note many years ago my family though I was Autistic and, I was placed in a home for kids with problems. Apparently it paid off because I'm still somewhat sane almost 50 years later.

I took one of those quizzes here in the Internet and; virtually all of the symptoms of Aspergers are present.

Your description seems likely for an Aspie. What was your score(s) for the online test?
