Hey there rich!
I have a friend who's social worker thought she was possibly borderline aspergers (not a social workers place I must say). She is one of the nicest people I know who has a heart of gold. When i'm upset by a serious situation she makes a joke and turns it around. My mum says she knew straight away she was, how to put it a little different, my mum said a little simple which I wouldn't agree with once u get to know my friend.
I notice that she can be honest and straight to the point at times. Trying to be helpful, but brutally honest. She is very intelligent and I find intuitive at times. When I spoke about an ex she jumped in saying, oh this girl sounds childish. And I was like yeah so she is. She also has an endless string of coffee dates every week.
She doesn't work however as she tends to fall ill with mental health issues still. She seems to have accepted her little life. She is however like an old lady, as she won't come out drinking in pubs at the weekend and goes to bed at like 8pm at night getting up at 6am. But I value her as a friend, more so than some of my others who work and go out.
A person who u describe as NT will appreciate your quirks, I assure you, and both parties can change their approach.
I've felt that I've had some connection missing my entire life ! I'm 28 and all that's changed is I'm more optimistic. Well, I've made some new pals in the last 2 0r 3 years but I have spent ten years in a lonely bubble, escaping into books, had a partner for seven years he was my only companion really. I assumed people avoided me because of stigma.
I recommended to Mr. Stranger an author called AYN RAND who writes about INDIVIDUALISM. The main character is more or less a solo sort, striving to be the best architect he can, he meets his best friend a millionaire only when his career is taking off, as a grown up. Sometimes talented people find it harder to connect with others and search for someone with their unique vision and it takes time.
