The autism spectrum wasn't really a thing yet when I was a kid, or most of the people I relate well to would probably be diagnosed with Asperger's, to be honest. Asperger's is actually pretty prevalent in the Magic community.
While I'm in the IQ range of many functional autists, my social awkwardness is most likely a symptom of my ADHD. I don't mind it as much as other people do, and I'm more than happy to be "weird"...which is probably the hallmark of being a misfit :)
