It does sound kinda like Aspergers! The church has historically been a last resort for people of unusual mental types, though they were horribly cruel to people with full blown mental disability. I often wish I could join a monestary myself, but more for the non-competitive lifestyle than the repetition. Unfortunately I have not found any tolerable church that I can reach that would accept (and board) an incorruptible agnostic atheist AS.
Our universities could be monestaries! Unfortunately though, people think it's a horrible sin these days to live your life without making money for someone else, so you can't find solace at universities for long before good people spit on your name (and remove financial aid). Otherwise I think they'd make great monestaries.
