Hello and have a great day (or night)!
I don't think I have significant ASD traits other than sensory (e.g. I really HATE silk) and maybe rules/order-related, my RAADSR score is about 110, which is pretty medium.
But people with HFA/AS are the only ones who I can identify with. Others just never, never think properly. And they even use emotions in thinking. Whaaaat.
One huge exception is devotion to details. It doesn't play well with systems thinking.
From the day I know myself I've liked to see the core, the substance, the underlying system of things and I'm good at it: at problem-solving, fixing, finding the weak spots. I'm really bad at creating new things from scratch, but I could emulate this process by starting from a problem that needs to be solved in a bigger system.
Also I have a crippling social anxiety, which I could perfectly manage if I'm not in a meltdown already. It has something to do with people not following rules and that sounds related to ASD. But I don't have any substantial problems with empathy and emotion recognition, other than, sometimes, too much of empathy leading to a meltdown.
So. I'm not into meeting new people in general. I totally hate that. But I really need someone alike to share problems, solutions, faults, experience.
I'm 30, Russian, happily married, my wife has much higher RAADS score, but we are still different and I have no other close friends (while my wife has). I don't know what to do with my life, everything seems pointless without a society and I'm totally not into traditional culture and all that family/religious stuff, which is even more pointless than nothing.
If you think that we are alike or you know someone alike or could share a related story or give any advice, I'd be grateful!
Thank you for your time.
