It seems like I'm not on people's wavelength most of the time. When I am someone's wavelength it seems like my social problems disappear.

It usually takes illicit substances or a sharp blow to the head to detune myself down to the wavelengths of others.

Same here but I experience this only very rarely. And when I do it's usually with other aspies.

I remember having those "up" moments in school. maybe twice a year, I would have a few temporary friends that would last for a single recess session. It was a good feeling to have friends, but I knew it would not last for long and a lot of times, it ended in betrayal.

It is always difficult to be around people on different levels. It takes so much energy out of me to be around my NT friends. It's like playing chess, enough wrong moves and a night with them sucks. I haven't hung around them in over a year except a couple of times and I get the feeling they think I hate them. It's not true but I just don't have patience for it anymore. We speak two different languages. That's the way it is. Eagles are eagles, Owls are owls.

I think I'm probably considered NT but I really relate to your statement. I don't feel like I'm on most people's "wave length." There are a very rare, precious number of people I can talk to where I can speak my mind, they get me, I get them and I don't feel so different anymore. I'm not sure what I am for a label but I'm not just a mainstream bobblehead who goes about life not questioning things. Sometimes I think there are many out there who just feel like freaks inside. When you find someone on your wavelength it's the most wonderful feeling in the world. <3

The funny thing is this mostly happens to me with NTs.

In another topic (correct me if I'm wrong) you already expressed doubts concerning your diagnosis. If you honestly doubt you have AS, can't you have yourself re-evaluated?
