So I found grammar errors in the project's blueprints and I became totally annoyed seeing that that was an asymmetric prototype. I proposed a symmetric one.
The grammar don't needed to be corrected in that moment and the prototype was only a prototype.
What made people dislike my opinion was the how I said that, not what i said.
My english is not very good because I'm not a native speaker of this language. I'm saying this only because I did the point about grammar errors.
Yeah, nitpicking about grammar for a prototype is probably not going to win you any favours.

Moondust: since you're a "friendly, joking person at work and outside work" I gather you do reasonably well socially, unlike a lot of Aspies. What do you get ostracized for?
NLD presents as very outgoing and sociable, but no less weird than AS, so the results are the same ostracism.
Interesting, I don't know much about NLD but then again I'm still kind of new to AS.

I can easily do information exchange. I don't do social stuff to build alliances and play office politics. I am retired now but my career ended early due to my choice and my lack of ability to play the game well. I am so happy to be away from that torture chamber.
Oh, how I hate office politics, alliances and the game. I do my best to stay clear of that but I know opting out has its career disadvantages. What line of business were you in?

I did corporate Financial Analysis for many years.

I think most do this to a degree just maybe more exaggerated for aspies.
I agree that it happens to a degree for NTs but nevertheless they seem to do relatively well with casual chitchat. I feel particularly awkward with jokes are flying around a meeting room or faking smiles while passing others in the hallway. While I generally suck at and dislike small-talk in any context, I'm definitely worse at it during work. I wonder how many Aspies stay in work-mode even when in a social context.
Oh yep... I contrast the highly social folk who deftly swim the social scene at balls, 3-day events and so on - events that I saw from the other side as a member of St John Ambulance...
I have been a techie at every church I attended - I wouldn't know where to start if I didn't have a job to do..
Gets very lonely and isolating though..
