I also feel "emotionally detached," I am not autistic but have CPTSD and need much alone time. I do love people but I always seem to be in a separate energetic field, as if I am watching everyone else from a different dimension, aware of my separateness.My emotional attachment seems more superficial than others seem to have with each other. This has nothing to do with my depth of caring just my sense of belonging.
I was a little concerned I may have offended you with my anti NT attitude.
I am happy to see you are still here.
Do you also have NT websites where you can talk about your psychological difficulties?
We auties aren't bad people,
And I know your BF is an aspie,
But we are very different thinkers.
No, not offended. I am not on other NT forums. I have friends I talk to when I need to.
I came here to further my understanding of aspies, and you have all helped me to understand myself more as an added benefit.
I get your warped, perverse sense of humour Pepe, we're good.
Ouch!
That was a back-hander if ever I saw one.
Rather,
My humour is steeped in intellectually fuelled satire,
The intelligent man's go-to for comedic social commentary.
I don't appreciate satire, I don't like "mind games" either, I am a simple minded gal and no match for your intellect, you are a good guy, though I have no idea what you are on about most of the time Peps. My "warped and perverted humour" comment was of course intended to be humorous. Do you have any NT friends, besides me?

I have a number of people online that I consider friends.
All are aspie.
I'm surprised you consider me a friend,
With my hash view on NT society.
I never had a problem with your participation here.
The thing with friendships,
And particularly NT friendships,
Is that I won't let the relationship determine what I say, how I act and how I think, to any significant degree.
Relationships almost always mean unacceptible compromise,
And I am not prepared to be distracted from my personal growth and creative investigation.
I am a "Proper Aspie".
There are few of us around,
And I am fine with that,
Because it makes me more special,
Just like my mom said I was. <beam>

Who wouldn't despair at the state of NT society? I know great NT's and aspies both, I don't have a template requirement of how people should think or behave nor expect them to modify themselves to please me. I know that when you throw $hit at NT's (which is a gross generalization and more than a little rude,) you are not aiming at me, and if I you are it is going way over my head and missing the target
All men and women are equal in my eyes, for some reason I love the aspie mind set though it does not always bring peace and happiness to the aspie him/herself.

"Alf".
Well, that is a blast from the past.
I think most of the young 'uns would know what you are talking about.

Are you talking about the fuzzy alien thing, Alf? I used to watch that show! haha. My grandma had a stuffed animal of him in her house when I was a little kid. I thought it was cute.

Yeah, I didn't know Alf ate cats until I watched Teen Titans Go!

I sincerely hope he doesn't, being a red-headed teacher I should really have chosen a different avatar and name for the sake of anonymity
. I haven't discussed this forum with him.

Right. Alf was funny but sometimes he did want to eat cats. He always failed with this of course.
