"It's like you are just a spectator in this thing": experiencing social life the 'Aspie' way

I found this article on a routine Google search using the search term 'Autism and anomie'.

It's ten years old now and may be a bit dated.  It also, perhaps, doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know.  It's 'academic', I'm afraid, so has the usual jargon.

Worth a read, though...

"It's like you are just a spectator in this thing"

I'd be interested to hear opinions...
