A few good friends have suggested that I may be an undiagnosed Aspie, and I did start to look into the possibility before my new job began despite the repeated and adamant objections of one friend; I will have to start researching doctors again when my schedule evens out a bit.
Unfortunately I never had anyone actually "show me the ropes". I learned through trial and error... and if I've never succeeded at some social expression, I've never learned it. I can pass for functional at this point in most situations, but throw me inot an social arena I have no serious success or experience with... like flirting... and I fall over and die.
