| I drive. I don't drive on the highway, only local roads. I studied for the written part of the road test and applied what I read to driving on the road. I passed my road test the first time. |

| I've outed my autistic coworker to a few people because they were talking negatively about him behind his back, like they knew something was wrong with him so I told them he's autistic just like me and they stopped doing it. |

| In kindergarten. I would sit alone in a corner of the room and play with animal toys by myself. I didn't interact with the other children. Teachers complained to my mother about this, but she didn't want there to be anything wrong with HER child so she never tried to get me psychological help growin... |

| And then eventually, inevitably, I am reminded that my attempts at meaningful conversation with neurotypicals always ends unsatisfactorily. It never quite leads anywhere meaningful. I was married for ten years and now that I'm divorced I have to accept that I will be alone for the rest of my life...... |

| I've been told by an NT person who is close to me that I have an unsettling stare. Furthermore, she has told me that she's noticed the exact same stare in other people on the autistic spectrum. She characterizes it as a fixed, empty gaze, that appears cold and unfeeling, almost not-human. She says ... |

| I would recommend trying to get a diagnosis if you can so you can be sure what your issue is, Asperger's or something else (which I think is the case for you). |
