I have Aspergers myself but unlike you I never had to rely on gaming to make my life better. You just adapt to the society you live in and get good at it. Props to you though OP for making a better life for yourself.
Do something today that your future self will be thankful for.

Hey HammerKick, I've always liked your posts on liquiddota and like seeing you around. Honestly, I'm not sure if it's you, or another poster like Fleetfoot with the enchant icon but regardless, I'm a fan now.

I think you're handling it quite well, take care!

and if I can share a small anecdote of mine, I hope it helps somewhat with your mentality in the future.
As I've been playing in super competitive circuits in and around early teens for gaming and for a physical sport, I found later on that I was lagging fairly hard with being able to communicate with people with very different beliefs or ideas.
I later decided to play some games that were bound to be more casual and where I could be myself. Unfortunately, it's still hard to get out of that competitive mindset, but I met lots of wonderful people. The main idea was still to participate in as many activities as I could irl and ingame to learn to articulate myself better.

Having grown up a bit by that point, I realized that that I'm listening and talking to people with a lot of interest and we're essentially sharing a moment together where it's a step up from acknowledging this very idea. Simply put, it's a natural experience that extends beyond knowing what's happening, and for some people they've had experiences like this since they were little. To keep it short I just want to say that it can be a nice way to go about things and to improve yourself. It's also good to realize that antagonizing people can spoil your chances of reconciling and having a good friend. I'm just throwing that out there for good measure, because oftentimes (for example) bullies do recognize they did wrong and grow up to make up for it, and so apologizing for something you didn't really mean can definitely go a long way as well.

Anyway, have a good one!

I do understand people who think like your countrymen on this subject. For me Aspergers goes in the same category as bipolar, ADHD etc. Putting tags to often quite normal human behaviour. When I was young I was diagnosed with ADHD and my parents were advised to keep me medicated, which they declined. Turns out I was just a kid with ridiculous amounts of energy who when not occupied with something that I found amusing/enjoyable or involved in some sort of daily exercise, could turn to negative behavioural trends becoming destructive and awkward to deal with. The cotton wool treatment for every minor issue in a child's upbringing actually worries me much more so than any of these so called disorders/syndromes. /rant

On a more positive note it's good you found a hobby that helps you in your daily life and you enjoy. Gaming gets a bad rep sometimes, but certainly has its good sides.

UPDATE!

The situation is the same but it's improving! Government is starting to know and understand how psychoanalysis is bullshit.

I have finished high school and i'm entering an informatics school. Got my final exam, the baccalauréat with an average mark of 16.3 ("Very Good" appreciation which is nice when finding further studies).

Thanks for all the posts!

Cool. Can you make this happen please: an app for playing voice forum mafia, featuring among other functionalities a compact 3d representation of the index of posts, rendering it clearly discernible which input was a response to which segment of the other, in a practical and visually attractive (reminiscent of star constellations) design.

Make it easy to use soundboards instead of smileys, a cappella and jam to each other's audioposts, and use effects like movie-trailer voice or spooky reverse-reverb, unlockable only through achievements while playing ranked games (3 games played at the same time with identical open setup and the same players out of which only an uninformed couple would be faced-off and ®anked).. so forumites from reddit, 4chan, anarchiveofourown etc. flock towards it.

Then encourage this community to produce satirical, voice-commercial sketches, à la GTA Radio, that mimick real adds until those start accumulating. Once paid adds are abundant set the probability of a sketch, instead of an add, to appear on a player's virtual answering machine to 33%.

Let the big gaming studios invest cuntless hours of effort and money into producing garbage that will never come close to real life's gameplay, or augment it in any way.

Bonne chance!
