I am not officially diagnosed with Asperger’s but I am strongly convinced that I have been living with this my whole life. I feel fortunate in some ways because I have very little interest in friendships and socializing. I have two people that I consider close friends. One is a very common sense female person who I have turned to for advice in interpreting motives of people. I am very literal and I believe who you say you are. The other is a protective non judgmental male figure who has never made advances towards me. I feel safe with these two people but less the first one because she is a bit of a manipulative person at times. I have been a loner my whole life. I have been accused of being snobby and unfriendly. I miss cues and with the help of my spouse, I find social interaction easier. I call him my ambassador of good will. I don’t dislike people but I have a low drive to interact with them. I do well at work because I am playing a role I know well. I have a tendency to get stuck on things like discovering a person was not who they said they were. I can perseverate over those things endlessly. I have food fetishes and eat the same foods every day. I don’t like change and it can cause anxiety and a meltdown. Not sure why I am posting this but I feel like I want to put myself in a category where I have an understanding of why I am this way. Sorry for the wordiness.
