I feel a bit similar, but the exact opposite reason. Too socially intelligent to relate with the aspies, too weird to relate with the normies.
Yep.

I thought no one on WP would relate to me because I don't like sci-fi much, have never been to a comic con, am not--and could never be-- an engineer, etc, but I was wrong. Those are stereotypes, and we have to be careful about stereotyping ourselves. We get enough of that from other people already. I'm finding a lot of diversity among the neurodiverse. I know next to nothing about sports, but I've met plenty on the spectrum who do have one one or more sports as their interest, now that I think about it. No matter what you like, you fit. I like 18th century opera.
I really don't feel like I fit, though. Been here for the better part of a year now and I still feel very out of place.
