Since I hardly know anyone, it's not difficult to be the most asocial person I know. I talk to my spouse and my mom and that's it.

I don't really like people. I would like to be able to like them, though.

My dad's not very social, but I think he'd count more friends than I

No.
I like being in my own little world. I prefer observing the alien landscape from inside my bubble.

I spend all of the day (from taking my daughter to school, to picking her up), most days, on my own. But, when I'm out and about, I talk to lots of people and I'm usually the one to strike up a conversation. I'm probably the most social person I know, in that respect. I spoke to a relative stranger yesterday and I think it's paid off in some way. I've seen this parent at the school a few times and only said a couple of words to him before. I've actually felt a little bit drawn to him (not in a romantic way). He seemed to be giving off vibes, which I often get from a kindred spirit, but I've never had the opportunity to have a conversation with him before. Yesterday, we were the only two there for a while, so I spoke to him properly. And, lo and behold, his son has autism. We've now got something in common to talk about.

I had an autist in my old class who was just really bad at communication, he would seek out attention but at the wrong times and the wrong ways, he would generally try to push himself into other people's conversations. i remember it to be really annoying at times but he didnt do it all the time so it wasnt all bad.

I stopped speaking to a lot of old friends and moved away from my old town recently so I don't actually DO a lot of social things right now. However, I have met PLENTY of people who are less inclined toward sociability than me. I am quite good at social skills as far as aspies go (after many embarassing years of self-teaching) and I enjoy the company of /some/ people very much. Still, you probably wouldn't describe me as especially social, certainly a lot less so than the average NT, but perhaps more so than a lot of aspies.

Yes but my mum would be a close second. I win the" least social" title because my mum talks on the phone for 5 minutes with my sister (her other daughter) and her own sister nearly every day.To be fair a lot of the people I know are hyper-social extroverts , including my sister and cousins.
