Thank you! I don't think I'll tell them until I absolutely have to. You are right though that if I tell them upfront they'll start trying to look for the symptoms rather than me. I spent three years in the military keeping it a secret from everyone, and I was absolutely miserable. The service was quite unwavering, and they were unrelenting towards my quirks. They were too busy trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.
Also, the media has done a fine job pigeonholing us all as sociopaths thanks to the Sandy Hook and UCSB shootings. That's what makes people even more apprehensive. I don't need anyone to hold my dick for me every time I take a piss, and I don't have the mind of a child. I'm not Rain Man.
I'm not a sociopath, either. Would you believe me when I tell you I've never killed anyone, but I've actually saved not one but two people and a cat from dying? I did the Heimlich maneuver on a guy who was choking to death at a restaurant and sprayed a woman down with the dish nozzle after she caught herself on fire at a restaurant where I worked as a dishwasher. The cat had her back end run over and crushed. I got her out of the parking lot and kept an eye on her until the owner got home so she could be taken to the vet, and she lived.
Do people with autism and Asperger's ever get on your nerves?
