Or, ASD as the new DSM refers to it.
I feel like I always have to notify people up front of it. I am very well adjusted, so people rarely notice it in me, but occasionally, a quirk will slip out. People who know about it and me understand when this happens, but those who do not often get weirded out or offended. Personal space is strange for me. In person, I keep everyone at least at arms length, but when typing where I feel safe, I want to know everything and understand what makes a person who they are. I am who I am though.

Really big problem of people's misuderstanding the need of another type of comfort/communication :(
