And what do you actually mean by "harp"?

It's a gift.
What can I say?
Isn't harp a cannon?
It is , or was.

Asperger's Syndrome involves social interaction, communication and imagination difficulties such as not being able to relate well with most people, and I feel and think in long chain information streams and clearly you are able to communicate well in short chain ones.
Do you feel and think in long chain information streams or are you gifted with being able to relate in short chain ones naturally (?) ~ because for me it is like trying to put both of my legs in one trouser leg and walk with an even measured gate!

There will always be a proportional few "Look how bad . . . see if you can stop me!" boundary testers that have not had their primary needs for affection and intimacy met, as had to seek or steal facilitation and affirmation by way of domination and negation instead ~ i.e., breaking a window or upseting and angering people in order to be treated as significant or even existential...
Just as there will always be people who pretend to know the intent and motivations of others without ever having met them, and without ever having earned the appropriate credentials to do so.It is fascinating that people imagine they know people on the basis of just written statements ~ as it would not apply even with however many qualifications could be attained. Characteristics or traits can be ascertained such as psychological typology and writing style and all that ~ but no matter how many of those may be known they are only a hint of what is to be known.
I have a saying and my saying is if you think a kid is a brat, anything they do will be malicious.
One of mine is that there is the lesser evil and the lesser good as in their own way portray the greater good in each and every person, with the lesser evil and good being the human embodiment and greater good being the embodied being.

Another saying in sarcastic self resignation is "The problem of wearing welding goggles in the thick of night . . . " ~ as used equally as much about myself and as with and about others.

It is a normal disposition in that many people on the spectrum and those who are otherwise divergent do not so much (or at all) receive the facilitation and affirmation they require as children ~ in terms of being individual ~ being that only the neurologically typical in general get that in terms of being part of the collective.
Us strangers in a strange land get more condemnation and negation in terms of being socially 'programmed' (educated) and sociologically 'conditioned' (experienced) with the linguistic narrative of ourselves being more wrong than right ~ so coming into an autistic collective with that programming and conditioning results in this sociological microcosm reflecting the microcosm.

I'm used to not being popular or not liked. It was that way too when I was a kid and I tried different personalities and that didn't work. People can tell when your behavior is fake or when you are just copying others "to be cool." So that might have been my problem right there when I was a kid and why no matter how nice I acted and mimicked niceness, I was still an outcast and still different.

I didn't stand out as much as some kids, but I could never entirely stay under the radar. I was overweight when I was young and got teased for it by the popular girls and I got shunned and picked on by the popular boys because I wasn't good at sports or hockey in particular. It seems like every athletic guy who's parents divorced made me his punching bag, and nobody gave a s**t. When I retaliated I'd get in trouble at school and then again at home. I started jumping them in the bathroom, or knocking them off the top of the playground equipment or behind the portables which usually just meant I'd get to deal with a pack later on, although at this point it was more likely to end in a shoving and yelling match but no real fighting.
I wrote a lot more but I didn't want to make this my autobiography.

have yet to meet someone IRL who genuinely minds when a person is bullied in the usual way-esp kids, apart from their parents at the most. and usually just one parent.
if bullying is overt even then..but at odd times you read of the overt type being put in their place or whatever..consequences..
but again it's the fact that majority tolerates, and accepts, and even defends, bullies.
just as the lie becomes truth --
because outing the liar risks the rest of the chain of deceit / those who benefit from deceit, being picked apart.
unless they're TOLD to defend a certain type of target by someone else (eg media, even if subconsciously picked up with fiction - movies/tv shows) that's when people seem to care. "trending"...
otherwise, hey--
they might even watch someone getting their ribs broken and not care, or even be pleased about it, no matter how educated they are.
must be part of the
survival instinct. follow or be shot down.

I was bullied a few times as a kid sometimes with a knife and been in the thick of it with domestic & psychological abuse
It is a bit of trigger for me if I witness it
