I was reading up on aspergers and apparently a potential cause is high fetal testosterone. I also read in a very interesting thread on another website that we are naturally excluded from a group. I definitely noticed this during my job orientation where we formed a circle and people naturally shifted away from me. I do nothing to harm people, but ive been bullied my whole life and i cant stop thinking about my interests! Does anyone else feel the same about all of this?

I'm not really sure why I get excluded so much, but I read that the aspie behavior tends to give off a vibe of "stay away from me" to other people, which is not really what I intend. That and my lack of social skills tends to get me excluded from things.

I think its possible its our insane interests in one thing. We just think about it nonstop and other people can sense it by our behavior

It's either that or a "bully me" vibe, much like a house cat avoids you, while a tiger has you for lunch.
