What reclusive animal do you as an ASD person most identify with?

NAS71674

I love animals, and recently I have started to identify with certain aspects of an amur tiger. Not the size, power etc of the animal, I am average physically but the psychology and the lifestyle that these animals seem to exhibit. Completely independent, quiet, hidden, discrete and has a sense of order also with no fear in dealing with anything that they feel disturbs the balance and order in their environment.  They can also figure out the source of problems with the tiniest of clues and track the problem down to the source.  What other types of animals do other people with ASD identify with and why?

  • Some house cats are reclusive

    I have read about how cats are more socially inept, especially compared to pack animals like dogs. 

    house cats have become more vocal to try and fit in and communicate better with the humans they live with, but its not the same. And while dogs have adapted specifically to emote better for humans, cats faces have not. Sort of how i struggle to mimic certain facial expressions inorganicly. 
    cats also don’t wish particularly to be lonely, but again they are very socially unaware and work more on their own terms. I relate a lot to the modern house cat
