As someone with autism I can see a lot of myself in these posts. I'm wondering now what my "stimming" response. Maybe I dont have one as such but I find I need to verbalize my thoughts a lot and tend to as a result be constantly muttering when dealing with a difficult task or experience. Could that be it? Anyways my story is pretty similar I was the "weird kid" growing up and had to pick up social cues by trial and error. I wasn't diagnosed till I went to uni at 18. Which later explained a lot about my life. Hell even though I'm relatively high functioning i still consistently misread tones and social situations and find it difficult when doing something new. As for a cure for autism if such a thing were possible I'd take it in a heartbeat but it wouldn't fix the years of trial and error social experiences. I don't have any sort of autism related superpowers and find the whole rainmanesque assumptions to be kind of insulting. I'm reasonably smart but can't escape the feeling I'd be a lot smarter without my condition.
