I was always "geeky" and a little behind in terms of socio-emotional development. In recent years I started wondering if I was on the spectrum. But the more I've delved into it, I've come to the conclusion that no, it's just that I was geeky + raised in a home with abuse, and that when you don't get your emotional needs met in childhood, you skip a lot of developmental milestones and have to make up for them later. There's more than one reason to feel like you don't "get" certain things about social interaction.
