Firstly I currently live with an Aspie . . .
Not a lot of people know much about Aspies and almost nothing about Aspergers so please believe I understand probably about 7 % of your journey and maybe about 4 percent more than most others reading your post . . .
Currently my Aspie is busy into his thing in life and nothing is allowed to intrude into his precision world, so maybe I do understand something of what your saying. During a recent moment of speech he described himself as an obsessed narcissist. That he and many Aspies can be obsessive does not mean he is truly a narcissist, he is just wired differently.
He is nothing to me except we share the place habitat currently and sometimes I want to throw my Aspie into the lake; but truly he ' grows ' on you , he is simply a great person in so many ways. Put another way he is nothing to me and yet he has managed to make himself a central part of my interest. Yes he drives me crazy rarely but he is so great in other ways . . .
I think autistic individuals have difficulties in finding themselves; but once they find their true calling they tend to become amazingly good at it. This is not just conjecture but by noticing decades of life experience and some health professional studies.
Personally three months ago I was a terrible writer, but I am improving. The funny thing is this; so is everyone else who is persisting at Steemit : ) thus I remain firmly wedged in my own little pond as a minnow. Over time I will find the identities of these higher minnows and dolphins, "cleaners " and ' hit-men ' will be dispatched; I will move further up the Rewards and Reputations charts. . .
In the mean time I will follow your posts and see whatever I can do to help out a fellow steemian who is trying to be helpful and increase his/her market share in Steem. Over time I think I will get further by helping others achieve a little so that everyones shares in Steemit grow.
That way when I sign out and close my eyes at night I know there is some little ten year old Asian boy in Korea tirelessly working to improve Steemit for the benefit of mankind ( and WOmankind ) [ PC = Political Correctness ] while I smile blissfully as sleep overtakes me and I realise this strangers actions are increasing the value of my Steem : )

P.S. While you say there are hundreds of thousands of words in the English language; daily people actually use only under 5,000 different words. In fact most people never use more than 30,000 words during ordinary lifetimes.
Remember your here not to write long articles like I do, they seldom get read; your trying to reach simplistic people, so avoid big words.
Write short punchy sentences, maximum of 99 words for the entire post keep it simple. You must remember most of the people reading this either did not go to college or spent some serious time in college using some serious gear like booze or weed.
These are not university professors here, so try and find some quality authors and try and find your little niche where you can enjoy posting your content. Try and understand your audience; many autistic people are very smart actually so you will need to simplify your content for fools, it seems that your desire for precision is what gets in the way of you learning to talk down to idiots . . .
That is truly a superb reply and I'm now following your posts - partly brecause you understand, but also because it's only fair that if you can help me, I should try to do the same on the rare occasions I can. Different perspectives mean that you get to feel just as supported.
Thank you very much for the advice. Somewhere, in my mind, the theme to Mission: Impossible started, but I know this isn't impossible, just tough. In essence, "colloquial english" (the stuff people use) is a foreign language that's used by what might as well be a foreign tribe. Experiences long ago did not help. If I don't make it back, the survivors can share the imaginary chocolate cookies.

Some people are like this Terminator Movie quote . . .
" You can't stop them! ... They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever !!! "
Remember some people have trouble making relationship connections; given the fact most people can hide anonymously behind the anonymity of the World Wide Wed today there has never been as better time to be who you are . . .
Carpe Diem ! ! ! : )
