That fits. I'm an 'aspie' myself. I work 6 PM-4:30 AM 4 nights a week, for a decent salary and good benefits. I don't have to deal with the 9 to 5 people, nor they with me. I perform a valuable service for my boss who has to cover things 24/7/365, and she rewards me for it. Social standing? Pfft. I have my wife, my 4 wonderful children, and my family as my social life, pretty much. I do have one treasured female friend from here at work who is probably as 'aspie' as I am. The rest of my social life is online, really, with people a lot like me. I know that to some of you that sounds like an empty life, but, keep in mind that how I see a lot of people live looks pretty empty to me. If I'm happy with it, as is my family, what does it matter?
Also, I've done what I can for my kids in school. I make sure my oldest girl (she's 14) understands how it really works, and why some of the kids treat her how they do, and that the only way to deal with it is to remember that she is worth every bit as much as they are, and to do it her way, not just follow them for some ephemeral 'popularity'. She does pretty well.
