RE: A Peek Through The Eyes of Someone With Asperger's Syndrome (Have you ever wondered what it's like to see through the eyes of someone with autism?)
I can SO RELATE! I was assessed with Asperger's as an adult too and it was such a relief to have affirmation that I am, in fact, different. :)
I honestly believe that once we Aspie's embrace the fact that we're a little "off" then we can truly harness our super powers. It sounds like your super power is analytics and/or troubleshooting.
As for the socialization thing... well, I still consider myself social inadequate but I've had a lifetime of observing behavior - and been through enough BS to have a decent toolbox of coping and faking my way through things. If you're interested, I'd written a piece called The Mechanics of a Smile that you may find interesting.

I Get Emotional
When I hear about someone 'knowing' their child is autistic. My parents never knew either and I feel good the kid will be able to skip most of what we went through
You'll need to re-post it, it's over a month old and I'm unable to reply or vote on it. :(
Following you now. Good stuff!
