Anti-social people -- those who are especially insecure or anxious, or those who tend to avoid relationships -- were faster at detecting and responding to a potentially dangerous situation

I knew I was right about not being in a relationship. Relationships are dangerous stuff.

Reminds me of the time my brother, mega NT, went to help some friends get a tree off of their house after a tornado outbreak. I said be careful. He said its all good...I got a case of cold beer. The idea of him half drunk with a chains saw on top of a roof made me very nervious...but he saw nothing wrong with it... :roll:

No he did not get hurt, but could have easily.

So people who don't waste their focus on social stuff are more aware. Another evolutionary use for Aspies. It's good to have diversity in a species. That way, anything that adapts to attack the species will have to adapt to more things.
