hello,hi,howdy :D

all this still very new to me & fresh (although of course it isn't if you know what i mean ! ! :? )
diagnosed aspie a week ago, only really knew ANYTHING about it 2/3 weeks earlier, but in a way such a relief to know im not going/are nuts/bonkers/mad
have lived in a "bubble" all my life, couldn't quite apprehend why no one else in my circles seemed to see things the same as me, felt very isolated/alone
i know im known as being aloof/arrogant/rude, have never meant to be though & have always seeked refuge in the knowledge that in my own world (interest wise) im held in very high regard & respected & genrally known as a really nice guy who is a pleasure to go out with socially. to mix with & the couple of friends i've chosen to tell so far can't see it/don't understand
they only see the "good" side of me i've tried to explain, they are my friends,are special to me, it's everyone else i have the problem with or they seemingly do with me???

going round in circles already look :D

That's what circles are for - to go round in - I think?

Hi, osti62
Life is full of continual circles, our circles often more complex, more interesting and when the realities of the unknown get too much for me, I still like to retreat into my safe cocoon from time to time :alien:
