A Quick Note: I am a high-functioning Autistic (Asperger’s Syndrom), and was undiagnosed growing up. As such, I was not barred from military service, and after two consecutive tours in the Middle East I have returned with combat-related complex-PTSD. I have a service dog who helps me deal with my issues stemming from both of these things, and a very supportive chosen family. Due to my unique brain wiring and medical issues, I have a tendancy to be over-talkative on subjects I have been or am obsessed with and I regularly fail to read or misread social cues which ends up making things awkward.
