Some thoughts

I have been thinking of my own condition, and of those around me who share it. I wonder if it has an evolution, something like:

Lonely but bright child, who doesn't make friends, and grows into:

A highly intelligent adult, who has no friends, or has difficulty keeping them, who is quiet because of difficulties in communication, and develops into:

The same, but this time vocal, and trying to understand themselves and the world, always trying to communicate and live socially, who develops into:

Someone who has acquired all the social skills, communication skills and coping skills to manage life.

I am not a doctor, but three of these states has applied to myself.
