I stay in touch with people who accept me for who I am. I don't talk to social media drones and PC fanatics unless I have to, but IRL I don't see as many such individuals as online.
I enjoy arguing with those people and setting them off. I almost see them like parental figures to rebel against because it seems like they want to control me more than anyone. What could cause you to see people your age or even younger as parental figures trying to control you?
As with many parents with a child with Asperger's syndrome, they may have mishandled you. So you did not create trouble with violence (except to be a target of bullies as I was), criminal behavior, drugs, or alcohol. You were conformist enough to make your autistic behavior look like signs of being a free-spirit. Well, you weren't a free spirit: you got little fun out of it.
They did not know. They had no idea.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
