You won’t find them in real life, they hide from that.
Actually, I know a few people that would be like this without the influences our local autism society social group has on them. Being brilliant in some areas and not as much in others can really twist a brain up depending on which areas. I got lucky with my strengths and challenges, I’m said to have infinite patience(not really the case, but relatively, close enough), and the ability to understand and relate to both Neurodiverse and Neurotypical individuals well. So I volunteer as a go-between, essentially an interpreter/mentor. I help the parents and kids get along, even if the “kids” are older than me. I also still live with my parents at 40, as despite some of my strengths being useful, I haven’t found anyone willing to pay for them. So I just try to help people with my time, either in real life or online.
