(personal)

Never realized that my aversion to conflict, which drives my interest in politics and political economy, was part of of the Aspie-thing, rather than just a reaction to how my father treated my mother and us. I feel that I have to protect everyone (its terrible really) and that I just wish conflict would end so that I didn’t have to. Aspies particularly don’t understand interpersonal, emotional conflict. It’s very distressing. It’s incomprehensible. And we don’t like things that are incomprehensible. 🙂
