[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks.  A couple of thoughts...

First, it seems like Aspergers == creepy....not reading cues, etc.

Second, I can see how/why people are viewing me differently.  Today, my goal is more to make people laugh and to feel good rather than to get them to like me/want to be with me.  [/quote]

What the hell is with the DCUM obsession with Asperger?

It's mind-blowing.  OP, if you're saying that your own ASD is what made you "creepy," I strongly doubt it.  Don't internalize bigotry.

If you think the descriptions of creepy = Asperger, educate yourself.

People with autism often find social situations stressful and are more likely to avoid eye contact, avoid verbal interactions that aren't absolutely necessary, and seek out separation from others even when in crowds. [/quote]

To be fair most people wouldn't be able to tell someone had Asbergers just walking next to them down the street or in an initial conversation but they probably WOULD be able to tell something was just a little different/off about the person's interactions. That could set off creep alarm bells in my mind. Once you understand why the person isn't taking social cues as well you obviously shouldn't ostracize them but I think not being automatically perceived as creepy actually probably is a struggle they face.
