Yes, and I hate labels, and don't know anything about you in real life (and a public forum is not the place to get into the details). Therefore I assume the milder form, if you don't mind. You have adequately displayed that here.

That's why it's Aspies, and not Autism. It's a type of category that tends to be less severe... and doesn't have as many problems dealing with the regular world.

I have a very good friend that has been diagnosed with a mild form of asperger's. He is very intelligent and kind to a fault. He functions very well at his job (considered a genius in his field), but he fixates on specific topics and hobbies for a year or two and then will lose all interest and move on to a different fixation.

He has one son that has been diagnosed with a sever form of autism. I've known him (the son) his entire life (he's 18 now) and still, I have never had a real conversation with him.

I promised myself that I would try not to derail topics anymore (I am bad at that, as well) and that's just what I've done. So, enough of that.

Lol, derails are fine for me (as long as the mods don't have a problem with it).

Yes... our interests tend to fluctuate a bit... generally because we get bored on our topics and hobbies and pick up a new one. So we end up being people who know a bunch of things about really obscure topics in certain directions, and than ignore the more basic stuff XD.

Yes... the more extreme people tend to have it much harder... my trials in life are nothing compared to theirs, that they aren't.

OK then, reading Ezias' posts on shamanism and then this thread, I thought of this:
