my buddy is autistic, but pretty high functioning (married, has a kid, etc) i think...and this will be criticized and laughed at, but i think if you are autistic you see beyond the bullshit and that can have a very sobering effect on you. it makes you incompatible with the world, especially as it is now. it drives you mad the longer you suppress the feeling. i've been suppressing it for a long time. decades.
