I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was already in my teens. It then took several more years to get any kind of actual aid. By that point I had it deeply fixed in my head that most of the world was entirely out to get me, that social rules were things invented by bullies specifically to torment me and that friends were liars looking for ways to torment me too. I think I may actually have a mental block on most of the subtler social rules, because deep down I just know that it was all made up on the spot to ruin me. Not to mention that I've never been one to do what I'm told 'just because.' 'Just because' is absolutely not a reason and I won't have it.
Second to that, I have fairly severe anxiety issues and chronic depression. If people don't respond to my PMs I very quickly start worrying that something happened to them, or that they're fucking with me, or even both at once. This promptly causes a feedback loop where people get sick of my worrying, and everything breaks down.
Add that to the problems of understanding people on the internet without any reliable way of detecting tone or expression, and the fact that no one ever talks to me about their problems with me, and you can see why things get bad.
In conclusion, I have turned off my notification on comments to this post, since it's bound to be the stupid preconceptions of whiny idiots I have no time for complaining about issues I neither comprehend nor particularly wish to. I'd take it very kindly if you'd all just bugger off, but bullies never listen, so come bully each other or whatever.
