Can most women actually spot the aspieness in a guy when he's confident, has a sense of humour and doesn't take himself too seriously?
I've found that no one has ever been able to spot anything with me.
No one believes me when I tell them that I am HFA. They just stare at me with their mouths open in disbelief or say something like, "But you seem SO normal!" or "I NEVER woulda guessed!"
To which I respond, "If I seem normal to you, it's because you don't know me very well." And if they look insulted to that, I will follow up with a quick, "You're not around me 24/7. I stay to myself a lot so that I can do whatever weird quirks that I have in private, recharge my batteries so that I can go and be around people and appear to be of normal social functioning."
