I was thinking about what you said yesterday, that i dont sound old, and i was like, finally somebody hears me! You are very good at reading people (is where i ended up), but i am betting that is more from nurture (growing up with crazy people, as i did) than necessarily nature, altho both my parents were pretty clever for foreigners. My dad in "letters" and my mother more in math. My mother always completely ignored commas and periods when she read anything, which means things usually meant the opposite of what was intended by the author. It was hilarious. Anyway.

So your friend must also be high iq autistic if she
can diagnose you?

Idk. I think "the spectrum" should be reversed. People who blindly follow others like socially instead of wondering wtf is going on should be considered on the spectrum, not vice versa.
