What a world of difference. Even though I feel relatively the same, I noticed a few things: 1- Bad though... |

My fathers side is very quirky and shy. My father was shy but not quirky. His brother was very odd. I think my first cousin is a near asperger miss.
Moms side, nothing. |

| From what I've read, many people here can relate to the feelings expressed by the OP. I went through a lot of that, even though I was never diagnosed with anything, and still see myself as more likely not on the spectrum than on it (my son is diagnosed AS). I used to attribute it to being shy, and ... |

If you could take back so many moments with people because you prematurely misunderstood them about something, or just had the wrong and angry attitude at the moment.
I would need an abacus to calculate the moments.
Sorry for being such a self centered idiot. (sometimes) |
