Nothing wrong here I doubt, I feel the same.
Were I to meet the ET members at a party, I think I would just want to go home asap, wouldn't know what to say, would feel awkward and stupid.
I love my man cave too.
Have attempted numerous times to discuss trading with close friends and it never works out, I would rather talk bs about fishing or the weather.

Wait a minute. You get invited to parties?............

LOL, NO!

Peter Thiel appears to be more of a psychopath than someone with Aspergers Syndrome. Some of the characteristics of both overlap each other. He in true psychopathic form might just be hiding his psychopathy under the currently acceptable Aspergers umbrella.

If a psychopath wants to grow his riches and reign of control even larger it makes perfect sense that he would want to hire other young driven psychopaths. Both psychopathy and Aspergers have a spectrum.

Sometimes people with Aspergers appear to be assholes but they are not.
Psychopaths are assholes but sometimes appear to not be.

Is there something wrong with me?

I hope not, because I'm very similar to you, in the ways you've just mentioned.

Doesn't aspergers make you a really good trader?

There's certainly a known and established correlation, but it's complicated too, because both "Asperger's" and "having the potential to become a really good trader" are also both, in themselves, somewhat vague criteria.

How do you know if you have aspergers and not just really smart and don't fit in the crowd?

You go - or for some of us "get taken" - to various specialists (typically more than just one), collate their impressions/statements, and form a general impression, with whatever degree of confidence seems appropriate (very strongly and entirely unambiguously, in my case).

I got a 35....I never knew this. I am 59 years old. I find myself forgetting stuff which actually lessens the effects...lol

Recently been diagnosed with Aspergers, have always known the way you feel and live in my life, even though owned businesses/employees, renters, forced myself to interact, but played the part of who I was supposed to be doing. Now older, don't care about may things, it is funny though, I got older and have more solid friends than younger.

People don't understand what we do, and I don't want to set myself up for that question "will you teach me"? And in polite way I say hell no. And traders I have met, they look at me like I was from Mars, at 6'6" always asked did I play basketball, and I want to ask it they were jockeys.

Just want mother nature to take me home to the skies, been too long of a painful life.

Handle, I've been thinking about your health. Remember those links and Drs to follow I mentioned? Here's 2 recent vids from Dr John Whitcomb. NACL will keep your glutathione production levels high and NAD+ combined with pterostilbene will give your mitochondria more energy availability. With more enery for your cells (equivalent to what we had in our 20's) you are better protected against breakdown by the usual culprits...inflammation, various diseases / illnesses (also, a vid on stem cell production):
