Not sure what emotional intelligence is but only know that the range
and depth of emotions I have are very limited especailly with regard
to others around me.
Fact often find myself emotionless, little anger, little happiness,
just a lot of neutral with no response.
Not sure if most quacks would recognise Aspergers if they tripped
over one. I went to see a psychotherapist for a year to help
with "stress" (probably a low grade depression but nevermind) and
never once did he ever bring up possibility of anything like
Aspergers despite a handful of degrees and postgrad qualifications.
Started going out with wife three years ago and she spotted signs and
symptoms with half an hour!
