So a question for my #autistic pals here:

I have... multiple advanced degrees, in a discipline that's supposed to make people make sense to me. I know, intellectually, all the "stuff" that people "should" do in social interaction. I could write books on it. But I cannot - CANNOT - do it in real time. I always lag behind anywhere from 3 seconds to 3 years.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has this problem, where head-knowledge won't translate into real-time action.
