Aspergers, a vow of silence

It feels like I was born with an inherent need for deep privacy. It doesn't seem right to talk about myself, much less how I feel and think. Sharing doesn't come easily and certainly doesn't feel natural in any way, shape or form.
 Talking about myself almost feels wrong, like I'm betraying a sacred vow to myself.


  I'm very comfortable in the silence. It's my first home.
 Autism is about autonomy. The not needing or wanting anything or anyone outside of myself. Autism is about self sufficiency. See what I can do, on my own. My thoughts and feelings, opinions are all mine. They are all I have. My personal privacy and seperation from society is relish and gravy. I like it. It's the suit I was born in and I'm quite reluctant to change.
 Nothing is always, but I probably feel this way more often than not.
 Of course I don't fit in. I am a world unto myself.  And I'm okay with that.
