Anyone relate to this part of the criteria. I think I might. I would just like to hear a more in depth explanation from a personal standpoint

Looks like your thread title got truncated. I guess it was meant to say "ASD social traits may not become manifest until social demands exceed the subject's social skills," or something similar?

If so, my personal experience is that some situations exceed my social skills, while others don't, and when I'm with the kind of people who don't exceed them much, I don't feel autistic. Hippies, dropouts and anarchists usually worked quite well with me, probably because they're less judgemental than the mainstream often is. But it's a complicated subject, what makes the plane fly and what makes it crash.
