I took on the persona of a Spock-like character for my first at-sea deployment. No smiles (deliberately), monotone voice, no jokes, pure business-like attitude, et cetera. You know . . . normal Aspie-like behavior.
My fellow enlistees hated me for being squared-away, always passing inspections and exams, and for being where I was supposed to be, when I was supposed to be there, and doing what I was supposed to be doing. (Obsession with good order and self-discipline.)
The XO (also somewhat nerdy) referred to me as "Petty Officer Spock" right from the start, and no one corrected him (not even the Captain).
When I left the ship for the last time, I laughed maniacally all the way to the pier.
Being a huge Star Trek fan, I adopted a no emotion philosophy for about a year before it became unsustainable.
