Hello everyone,
I’ve been logging on to this site for a while now, and I thought that it was time to do the decent thing and register myself. I’m 42, male and although I have not been diagnosed with AS, I do recognise many of the traits within myself. I prefer a logical, rational argument to emotion-based bluster and hyperbole. I’ve also had a feeling of detachment towards others, and I struggle with social interaction (small talk, eye contact, etc) generally. Specifically, I have a real problem with social hierarchies. I don’t like deference towards supposed social superiors and condescension towards supposed social inferiors; rather, I’ve always tried to treat everyone in the same, (hopefully!) polite manner. I’m not sure whether this is a manifestation of AS, or just me.
Anyway, there seem to be so many positive people on the site offering interesting insights and advice that I thought that I could add some of my own observations. Having spent more that 20 years in I.T., I hope that some of my experiences could help others in some way.
I don’t expect to be prolific in my posting, since I’m at work all day. However, I’ll be chucking in my opinions now and again.

Ciao for now
