Wow Klondyke, thanks so much for posting this and helping me to understand how autism affects you personnaly. I have a few friends/aquantancies who have autistic traits at various levels (it affects each individual differently depending on the severity) and while it has taken a long time to get anywhere near close (socially) to them, we are getting there.
Sometimes I have to just turn a blind eye to stuff they do or say, and sometimes I have to remind them not to stand so close or whatever - stuff they just don't realise is not as comfortable with other people as it is with them.
I myself have ADHD. I used to see it as a disability, but now I embrace the condition as it has definite advantages (artistic tallent, thinking outside the box etc).
