I agree with Troy, and also feel that as we have trouble making friends and have difficulties because of our differences, we appreciate the value of friendship more, realise the importance of mentors, and are more likely to reciprocate.

It should make us more understanding, more likely to help, but still misunderstood.
Don't know that it makes us any better though :roll:

NT's love to talk the talk but not so good at walking the walk. Good people are honest, fair and say what they mean. ASD promotes these characteristics as a means of survival in a world that we find difficult to understand. The NT's have always ruled the world. Go figure.

Well, I have to somewhat agree.

I think that our social skills are definitely off, but I do believe that we have much higher moral standards than others. Or maybe it's where I live... :D

Doubtful, the last thing we should do, is start this whole us vs them and we are better. We are not.

We are different and thats it.

This whole we are better, always leads to trouble, always.

Yes, absolutely. When you look at individuals there is no comparison in terms of who is most honest, loyal, sincere, etc. IMO, there is no doubt about it.

Question: In what part of the world are you currently living?
