@georgia Isn't one of the main symptoms the inability to read facial expressions, tone, etc.? Coz I never had a problem with those. In fact I think I'm hyper-sensitive to those things. Guess I'll do some reading, I'm curious now.

It's what's in the books, but from my experience, I can tell that (even if it is possible that it's accurate at the worse ends), in my life, there was never a problem with not seeing emotions, but interpreting them in a different context.

I am thinking oriented, meaning, that when I am thinking deeply, I look depressed, while I am happy. When people expect me to be kind, I care more about the rough truth.

In other words, I believe that it's all about a personality difference, but I do not believe it's a 'disability'.

But I was diagnosed, so what do I know. I am just an autistic idiot after all.
