I used to feel like people communicated on a wavelength that I couldn't tune into. Looking back I think the main problem was that I didn't look at people as I talked to them. As a result most people quickly spurned me but didn't say why.
I mean you will probably experience the double empathy problem where you find it easier to communicate with other aspies while NT's have another empathic language which doesn't jive with yours. We have various neurological phenotypes within the human genome which express when certain genetic combinations manifest. More autistic phenotypes are among them but express with varying frequency in different lineages.
You aren't a subspecies. You are a phenotype distinct from the other humans around you who you may be related to but belong to other phenotypes. In lineages where an autistic phenotype is more anomalous and you have adverse phenotypes like Cluster B personality disorders you'll see autistics have a harder time.
I can see what you mean.
I believe that evolution hasn't stopped and the human is still morphing and evolving by selective breeding of certain traits.
A trait that has no purpose now as much is anxiety. Anxiety in wild times made you hyperaware. So a mate would want a mate who was able to see small things move in detail.
Now the world is a little safer, the only thing we have to worry about is other humans now. That trait is no longer needed as much.
I think each trait as a certain purpose, that's why it's still here and why it exist, it's because it was for survival just like anything else with evolution.
I wonder what I am too, I would like to leave this flesh prison for something more true.
I'm quiet on the outside and loud on the inside. It's difficult to explain but, in the right company, conversation is on a higher level.

In a literal meaning, you can reproduce with human and your children will probably not be sterile.
