Alienation

I have three strikes against me in NT UK and the world:

1. I have ASD
2. I originate in New York City
3. I am a Jew, but I don't advertise it (unless annonynmously)

I emmigrated as a civilian to the UK in my early twenties and have resided in probably the worst region to gain acceptance---East Anglia, where there were seven U.S. Air Force bases (now four).  Locally I am a social pariah despite having lived here over this extensive time period ( I'm now age 78). It may seem counter intuitve to some but Americans are not socially accepted in East Anglia --- (in my experience or maybe it's just me). East Anglia is probably one of the most conservative regions in the UK, and a Brooklyn born, autistic Yank has a lesser chance of social acceptance than an illegal immigrant! This is despite the fact of having always paid my way on the British economy as a family man and UK taxpayer,  Am I bitter about this?---naaaaa, I'm still clutching onto the straw of hope offered by the NAS and this wonderful forum, not allowing myself to fall into despair!
