[quote=Anonymous]I've never seen what you describe.

We are a family of introverts. DD and I are very socially-aware, we just don't have the energy to socialize a lot. We are friendly to everyone and we smile and you wouldn't know we're introverted, perhaps, in a school or work setting. We like to go home and rest instead of go home and socialize again.

My husband and son are on the spectrum and they can't hide it. They are socially awkward, but courteous and professional. They don't know how to lie or suck up to people. They will gravitate to people who have the same interests as them, regardless of where they are on the social ladder, but it should be pretty obvious that if they talk to the CEO about their shared hobby, it's because of the hobby, not because of politics.

No one in his right mind would ever think that any of us are social climbers.

And like a PP said, the whole concept of social climbing gets more press than it deserves. Most people just want to get paid for doing a respectable job, and go home to live their lives.
