Thanks to all who responded! I'm eager to hear more insights or opinions!

genuine, uncomplicated and generous

I've had co-workers tell me they like me, especially once I said I was quitting and they were sad. A few months ago, two girls at work were trying to team up to take me clothes shopping. Their reasoning was that I need to dress cool, because Dr. Seuss themed shirts aren't cool. Too bad I don't care about fashion.

Hmm

Not sure. I would guess at the following acronym:

DETOX

Dark
Eccentric
Thorough
Original
Xylophone

Some other peoples comments of me are: Polite , good sense of humour , helpful , has artistic ability and good company.

I did a survey on this recently and will continue updating it , i find it interesting to know what others think of me.

I think most people think I'm weird, but they still like me OK, and as an adult I have no problem gaining trust with people, etc. However, when I was a child and probably through my early 20s, I was much more strange and bizarre in the things I liked to do, and in how I spoke, etc. I was often bullied by "popular" kids in school, and very few other kids would hang around me, for fear of being cast out by the popular group for simply associating with the weird-o. The funny thing is, it really didn't bother me at all that I was weird, and I knew I was, but I knew I liked my life as it was, so I didn't really have any interest in fitting in. My friends were all my parents' age, which at that time was OK, but nowadays with molesting in the forefront of the news all the time, I suppose people would worry that something inappropriate might go on.

At age 44, I think people my age and older like me fine, and can read me... But I still am weird among younger people. I look normal, and do normal things, but it's something about my body language (of course with autism), and the things I talk about, I guess.

But the bottom line is that I don't think I'm disliked by anyone, except maybe my wife's big brother, and that's normal .

At least one person thinks that I'm bitter, paranoid, mean-spirited and hostile. I have little clue what I said to bring that on. I had thought that he was my friend.

Most people assume I'm somewhere else doing something else with someone else. Because I'm never there and everyone has to be somewhere, even me. At work they see me as a marginal and irrelevant figure. I'm the only person in the company people address by surname, everyone else is John or Bill or Mary or whatever. My partner likes me but she thinks I'm weird and that I have Aspergers.

They say i'm a nice guy, smart but quiet and sometimes weird.
