- No particular problem with florescent lighting. I do generally feel more comfortable when in a dimly lit room but can sit under fluorescent lighting without it really being an issue.
- No insistence on routines. I can be flexible about timings but I often have a specific way I want something to be done and can become stressy if it is not followed. This is why my wife never lets me join her grocery shopping any more lol.
- I am married although I would not say I was ever great with relationships historically - being married probably says a lot more about the patience of my wife.

These are the traits I don't have:

I don't see patterns in things.

I don't notice odd bits of info like car number plates.

I'm terrible at maths.I failed 6 out of 5 exams at school.

I can read body language and facial expressions.

That's...uh....all I can think of for now.

I never had a problem reading "nonverbal social cues"
I'm neither hyper-logical nor unemotional
I'm not insensitive and I don't unintentionally offend people
I don't enjoy trivia and I'm not a walking/talking encyclopedia
I'm more interested in underlying generalities than details/facts
I don't monologue about things I like to people who don't express any genuine interest
I'm male, but I don't have a "hyper-male" brain
I'm an introvert but I need social interaction and can't be happy living like a hermit
Emotional closeness is something I desire

I have no problems with sarcasm, and use it constantly. (Though there are times when I can't tell if someone is being sarcastic or not, especially if I don't know them well.)
I don't have issues with nonverbal social cues, and in fact I rely heavily on them to communicate.
I have a good imagination, and loved playing pretend when I was little.
I'm not antisocial. I enjoy socializing, but often don't do it because I find it very difficult or awkward.
I have empathy; I just have a very hard time figuring out how to show it.

My voice lacks intonation, but it isn't monothone (usually).
Don't monologue.
No too severe sensory issues.
Understand sarcasm and metaphors (many...).
I have facial expressions (appropriate and inappropriate).
Have some empathy, recognize many facial expressions and some body language.
My memory isn't extraordinary (but it depends...).
"Tastelessness", I don't feel the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. :P
