Heh, silly topic heading aside, any other autistic folk finding themselves falling into the old grouping of would-be hermits? I'd say we're a bit of a sub group, more leaning towards the mid to high functional. I expressed in a previous thread how my need to have every route of a conversation, every answer, possibility and the likes has effectively closed off the vast majority of public outings, that I find myself confined to my home. In the past I'd argue this would have been life destroying, but given this age of technology, I've finally been able to jump beyond the constraints that come with physical social interaction and sublimate it with forums and so on.
Don't get me wrong, I imagine in the long term this will induce negative issues, but in our lives we're always in a uphill battle, fighting for the lesser of two or many more evils in finding ways to cope with our own oddities that came with out silly minds. But hey, lets make the most of it while we can!
