To what total extent do you feel emotionally (affectively, not cogitively) for groups of people? Please list if you are AS, NT or "other".

Moderate Autism - I don't even feel comfortable in pairs, let alone groups. Horror.

I would say I feel indifference......but not necessarily a “chaotic” sort of indifference. Most of the time.

There are times when I’m glad people are happy.

There are times when I feel disdain.

AS - I have yet to find a group where I don't feel "other" at best. Groups, I am indifferent toward. Being forced into a group, horror.

If at least some members of a group accept me as I am, then I may feel some attachment to that group.

Otherwise ... meh ...

I think I'm similar to Fnord. I swing from Moderate Attachment to Antipathic Horror.

I can feel some attachment to small groups where I share a common interest and people can get to know me. But large groups are just unpleasant.
