It is not accurate to say that I am antisocial. I love to socialize. I just like to do it in my own way; a way that does not involve speaking, inflection, eye contact, listening or establishing rapport.

I think you're confusing "antisocial" with "asocial". :P

I am neither. That's the point. As much as NT society wants to think so, I am a social person. I love hearing what people have to say. I love saying things to people.

I would just rather it all be text-based, like facebook or chat rooms.

If I was alive in the old days, I would write a lot of letters and keep a journal.

I am not saying I don't enjoy doing physical things in the physical world with physical people.

I used to play sports all the time. I like going to crowded social places like amusements parks and movies.

I just don't like trying to "socialize" in these contexts because the default media is "voice-based" rather than "text based"
