Hi my name is Evan and I am 22 years old. I was with diagnosed aspergers as in middle school but never really did any research on what it is. Now that I have I do see now that I have some social awkwardness and one sided conversations etc. I am in school for Network Engineering but my true passion is science specifically relating to nature. I'm going to Australia next year where there is a huge demand for IT professionals. After I am well established I will go back to school for Biology and become a herpetologist. I plan on using the money from Networking to fund my research and be an advocate for habitat conservation.

Hi Evan385,

Welcome to WrongPlanet.

We, the people on the Autistic Spectrum have a choice.
We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.
