My former best friend was diagnosed with Asperger. I think the main problem with these type of people at least is that they look completely normal, their autism is not apparent until you get to know them well.
I don't hate people with Asperger or autism... but I realized that you need to be a really patient person to deal with them, and I am just not that type of person. With this friend of mine, that was the problem, I just lost all my patience and didn't want to be around him anymore. It can be really painful dealing with these people. I know that they don't have ill intentions, but it is just that it becomes tiresome after a while. This will sound awful, but I want normal friends, people that can actually show some empathy.
You losing your patience says more about you than it does about the former best friend, who is well rid of you because you are making general assumptions about a particular group of people based on your experience with one person.
Isn't it wonderful how all the people in the world who aren't on that particular spectrum are going to be non-annoying, always empathetic and never tiresome? I wish .......
Well I'm sorry to hear that. I really am, but in any event it's probably for the better if you lost patience with that friend and didn't want to be around him anymore. It sounds like you did him a favor in the long run and that it was a blessing in disguise. And people on the spectrum CAN show empathy which I just elucidated to the other respondents. I wish our society PERIOD had more empathy, more solidarity, more compassion, and more tolerance, but instead everywhere I look it's all about me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me.
Do people with autism and Asperger's ever get on your nerves?
