This.
I just can't see myself being around another aspie. Sure we both have autism, but that's not enough for me to want to be around them in a social situation.

Before I went to the meetings of the local support group for adult aspies and autistics I rarely met a fellow aspie, but I worked with three guys whom I later learned were actually diagnosed as aspies. One young lady who used to work the same company, and was often my supervisor, was a person I strongly suspect was an aspie. Another young lady I knew was a recovered mental patient who happened to have a number of aspie traits.

Yeah well, I guess it's because I've never participated consistently in any actual group gatherings, I'll go once but that's it.
I don't trust groups or people that just accepts me like that, like what gives..

And I too am an as*hole I made another post about it.. but I am that way because I'm so uncomfortable every second of my life,
My life is filled with constantly doing things to make me comfortable, and OK never thriving just OK.. the cleaning, teh checking, the counting, the fretting, the washing, the avoiding, the scratching, the hitting, the rubbing, the daydreaming, the wandering et al.
