I have read in various places how Owen is autistic and how other guys have various aspergers like diagnoses..

I am borderline autistic and it blows me away how anyone like Owen can socialize so freely. I'm watching him infield and on stage and he seems to be very energized by socializing.. Well, it's either that or he's faking it like I do but even if he was, it would lead him to exhaustion for many hours afterward..

Me being introverted aspie, I find socializing to be insanely draining.. I have learned very good social skills and I can be very charismatic but my social battery is still very weak and I'm drained by very short conversations. I have tried many different tactics to improve this but nothing has helped..

I just think it's highly unlikely that these guys are introverted Aspies.. Maybe they are but a different flavor than I am? Anyone e,so on here like me, in that they can socialize just fine but simply do not find it that rewarding and that it ultimately drains them of all energy? This obviously has really limited my ability to create and sustain relationships of any kind

Any tips? What have you done to improve or deal with this?
