I generally don't avoid relationships. I'm just careful who I let in which takes time. Why? A lot of people have been critical of me due to my differences. For some reason this is a threat to them. I'm often judged by strangers who know absolutely nothing about me. To protect myself I approach relationships with caution. Once I see that the person is open minded and honest, I will let them in my life.

It's the neurotypicals with whom I feel miserably uncomfortable.

I totally get this. Neurotypicals have generally been the most judgemental people I have ever met, especially women. What is with their drama?
