Over the years he’s improved his social skills with a trial by fire (college student government, becoming a teacher), and he’s come out on top, with a lot of effort on his part.

This is not to say he’s mastered his differently-wired brain, but he’s coming close. Right now his biggest flaws I’d say is dealing with stress, and aversion to stepping out of his comfort zone. Game-related example is that he’s a phenomenal WHM, but has a harder time staying calm when shit hits the fan (I often co-heal with him for this reason), also he’s too scared to level AST because it’s different, and he doesn’t want to learn something new while also dealing with IRL stress (exam week, and now we’re moving).

I’m not sure where I was going with this anymore but I felt like I needed to comment. >_>
