Hi Scott, Quick question. How many questions are there here that you wish you could answer directly and openly, but can't due to "backlash" or unintended responses that might be misconstrued in some way?

I wish everyone else saw this..

Thank you.

My mum didn't tell me I had aspergers until I was 19, and even though I can look back at my childhood and see how I was a little weird, my desire to have friends along with my polite well mannered nature gave me the stepping stone into developing my social skills. My whole life even though I knew I was 'weird'. I took it more as something to embrace, and by teaching myself social skills by studying others, I also noticed the behaviors and patterns in people that other's might not pick up until their mid 30's. Now I feel like My social skills are better than everyone else's, where as everyone else now follow's stupid society rules just because everyone else does them, even if clearly everyone can see no one is having fun this way!

I don't really recall my point when I started typing this (Also have ADHD, but I don't even consider that as a thing, more like a "special ability to always be interested in something new". But I did want to hear if after you got better at talking to kids, fitting in, doing thing's the way they do, if you realized that a lot of it is arbitrary, and only because "everyone else does it''. Thoughts?

I want to congratulate you on your self realisation; but I also want to ask; what was your perception before this realisation?
