| Interesting perspective on it. I would like to believe that I am pretty competent when other people initiate the conversation, though it may be a very brief one. And as for distinctions, I'd like to say I am an alien while NT's are the robots, as they all act the same, as if hard wired to social sit... |

| I have always found general, or "normal" humor, not humorous. The type of humor you state is something I have found myself doing, so some similarities there. The type of humor I find hilarious, however, is irony, understood after analyzing something. This usually makes me appear odd, as I ... |

And when I bring out what I think is going on in detail about certain things, say a show that is happening in the back... |

| Not really, I just self diagnosed this year and am still confused on a few things. Honestly have no desire to socialize, even when people ask me to do something I more than usually find an excuse out of it. The only times I do socialize is when I feel that there is an obligation to do so. |

This has sometimes led to issues: feelings of loneliness, feeling out of the loop, and other feelings that go along with being isolated. But now, at 19, I still have no desire to socialize but also no negative consequence... |
