Ask me why Autism Awareness T-Shirt

You are preaching to the choir. This design - or indeed, anything I say about most things - is about other people making decisions on my behalf based on the funny pictures in their heads. I am probably putting that badly. It's not so much aspie as lack of coffee. But one thing society as a whole forgets is that social interaction is a choice for all involved. In my experience, my social skills are less important than the relative tolerance of others. And like most folks on the spectrum that I know: "High Functioning" is dependent on context. And that, folks, is also depressingly dependent upon finding a context in which one is permitted to function as one best functions. As for "better" or "worse," you might be slightly suprised; not that you are wrong - but that you are not as obviously correct as you may think. Fact is, I spent much of my childhood being dragged out of "my own little world." I liked it there. I still do. Indeed, that's where I get most of my work done.
