Less useless means more useful and you come across as a nice person to me.

I would also like to be able to help young people on the spectrum to avoid much of the bullying many of us have had to endure.

My complete inability in this regard (and the specific form it takes - I get obsessed with a person I'm attracted to, but have no idea how to form a relationship with them) is one of the reasons I think I may be on the spectrum.

I know people that can enter relationships at the drop of a hat and some that try to base them on looks(eyes,body,hair color) or social status as far as salary goes and could care less about what is inside of a person or their character

I said that as recently as my 52nd year of taking up space on earth. but life is what happens when you've made other plans. I used to angrily spit out "I'd rather frigggin' DIE than wait that friggin' long for somebody!" then somebody here took an interest in me and I realized it wasn't just about me.
