Hi Samurai. I'm assuming you're from Japan or are currently living there. I had the opportunity to visit Japan 15 years ago and have many wonderful memories of that time. Can you please give us some insight into what it is like being an Aspie in Japan?
 
Thanks Warmheart!

Siamese, I'm not Japanese so far, I'm from Japanese descent, but I live in Brazil (and apparently I can express more of myself using English and Japanese than actual Portuguese), I have this question as well, since I plan to live there, the social rules seem more fixed, and since I don't want to be "the first to do anything" I like to observe people to do right. :)

Hi again Samurai. Sorry, I shouldn't assume anything about your location. Yes, I knew there was a significant Japanese community in Brazil. Do you have any close relatives in Japan who could help you with assimilating if you were to move there? Good luck with your plans! :)
 
It's Okay, I have some accounts over there (not with this name) and people keeping mistaking myself as Japanese native, since I admire them, I feel it as a compliment.

About relatives, no as far I know. My family is pretty nuclear, I have my parents and my brother and sister, I don't know much of anyone, I have a friend who lives there, he don't know much of my Aspie condition, but the part of he know said that "since you don't have the urge to do everything in front of others you can be pretty successful" Not sure if its really true.

But thank you so much, I'm studying Japanese by myself by 3 months (I'm 22 now not too old to dream that right?), and seems like it's working, usually Japanese language have stuff like you write hypocrisy as "false virtue" adult as "big person" and to numerous examples, and this is making me feel really confident of my reading, I can detect patterns on almost everything, so Kanji at all don't scare me. Some stuff on Language ofc is harder, but I think is due the lack of exposition.

I believe language is one of my talents (at least English, I recall most of schoolmates went to actual english schools and don't seem really proficient even at school tests, some even failed at school)

If you mind to share some your experiences I would love to know.
