But I have asked myself, as have others, and came to conclusions that I&#x27;ve shared and that you&#x27;ve never addressed. You&#x27;re quite adept at providing non-answers, and I do believe you when you say you feel misunderstood. I&#x27;ve read more of your comments and your submissions, and feel that I understand you even more than you&#x27;re willing to give credit for.<p>And there&#x27;s the rub: you have been unable to give that credit. You&#x27;ve been given insights, raw honesty, carefully considered and thoughtful replies, and to each you&#x27;ve carefully and artfully worded a response that <i>almost</i> seems to show the same considered sympathetic thoughtfulness you are seeking from others.<p>I don&#x27;t know if it was a particular incident or if the particular way you perceive the world and how it perceives you is due to literal differences in your wiring, but I fear that you will find yourself butting up against the same walls every time you choose to engage in this dialog. It&#x27;s not because I or the others responding are being recalcitrant, it&#x27;s because you do not seem to be able to participate in that step beyond turn-taking: perspective-taking.<p>I don&#x27;t mean any disrespect, and if you care to read my past comments you will learn that I am sincere when I share the perception I have about you. I feel, for others reading, the need to disclaim more overtly that I do not share this perception in any derogatory way, and it comes from a place of understanding. My perception is that your difficulty with placing yourself in the mind of others, or your challenges with understanding why on earth people don&#x27;t think the same thing you do... Well, both are very much the kinds of issues that those, like my son, on the autism spectrum have. I&#x27;d very much like to chat with you. Drop me a line at my username at gmail dot com if you feel there is something to what I&#x27;ve said.
