I've been working in a large office for a long time and always wondered why I was so different from everybody else. I always wondered why people laughed at certain things and why I was the only one not understanding ... Always wondered why people got into little groups going for lunch and why those little clicks talking just to talk about this and that for no reason. Why was I the only one liking to be by myself and trying to understand how people could concentrate when there was so much noise around.
And also why was I the only one being extremely frustrated when for instance, something so obvious to me would be so complicated to all of my co-workers, and why people making such a big deal out of something so tiny small - and trying to explain to them my point of view would be impossible.

Last week I got some tests results and got my answer....... ASPIE !!

I scored in the very high above range + 99 percentile (considered a genius) for certain things and borderline retarded (I'm not kidding, lol) for things such as verbal reasonning - anything about talking / communicating.
Now I just scored this position in my office which allows me to use my brain and fix programming problems - HOWEVER - I need to attend meetings with people. When I think of my results, people who don't know me very well must really think I'm retarded, no? I'm slow in a conversation because I deeply think too much, but that leaves a bad impression and I know so. But there is nothing I can do about it... so here we go.

QUESTION: Does anybody have to deal with this kind of thing? If so, how do you cope?
