Is it normal to enjoy having asperger's? any aspies can relate?

For those who don't know, the symptoms of Asperger's vary from person to person, but the typical are a lack of inborn ability to socialize, being overwhelmed by sensory stimuli (especially people speaking), worse ability to make quick judgments and decisions, dislike of eye contact and some types of physical contact. Good symptoms that I have include the ability to become extremely focused and skilled at one thing, sensations of "being high" in response to enjoyable stimuli, increased ability to spot psychological and social manipulation, and generally more analytical mind. I've been able to build a life where I can be pretty happy and successful, and find that I'm often the happiest of the people I know. Most of the sadness people have seems to come from their relations with others or being manipulated by our socioeconomic system, but these things I manage to avoid in large part thanks to my condition. I have friends, love my family, enjoy my job, but truly revel in doing my own things on my own. Even though I don't enjoy the company of most women, I attract them pretty easily. Been in relationships. I'm not emotionless, in fact I often feel extreme emotions, but I'm not very good at expressing them or knowing what to do with them. Since it feels like life and many people have wanted me dead from day one, I don't worry very much since I got this far despite it. Considering things like the gender war, corporate propaganda, political polarization of society, Western democracies turning into leftist tyrannies, racial tensions, political correctness, selfies and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it ain't so bad at this point in history not having the capacity to fully engage in society. In fact, it feels like I'm one of the few sane people precisely because of it.

    Im not diagnosed but i fit most of the symptoms, I enjoy it too, people (irl) think i am smart for knowing things that are easy to me, but I am actually an emotionally immature dumbass other than that, I do stupid shyte all the time and lack common sense. the average person tells me i am "cute" "innocent", etc. treats me as a child, which is what I still feel like too because I dont feel the mental control of social/sexual urges that most people tell me is supposed to happen, also when I drink i dont get drunk I just get normal, so thats fun.

    I agree with you 100% on the last few lines, I couldn't give a crap about politics, feminists, anti-feminists, sjws, altright, whatever negative BS people are constantly fighting over these days, it's all kinda phony nonsense people use to feel bigger.so damn annoying that "normal" people are obsessed with it, itd be nice if more people were into shit that actually mattered.

    I had a good online friend who had this and she was awesome, but I never felt like she was able to connect. It was a weird feeling, like she remained distant, even though we shared everything with each other.

    We talked all day every day for two years and then she suddenly stopped and never responded again.

    I have no idea if thats related to aspergers

    Wow.
    I don't have aspergers but you described me to a tee ..
    They tell me I have 'mental problems' but in many ways I like how my brain works. So I'm saying normal.
