Social skills training could be very useful. My son has very high functioning autism/aspergers. He has some similar rigid thinking patterns on certain subjects which is why I asked. You have some strong beliefs where you look at things as either being black, or white. When in reality they are a shade of grey. You need help identifying when you see things in extremes and may need to see them in a more well rounded way. You can't help but be rigid in how you see things and that will be confusing for some people. It's okay not to get the help with social skills. There is always the route of radical acceptance of self. But if you want to change, there is help out there.
