The happines we feel after experiencing a good social moment is higher than for normal people.
We are able to truly understand what it feels like to live without something that everyone else takes for granted and don't even think about.
I couldnt agree more.
Not having anyone in your life means you wont be disappointed, let down, betrayed, confused or hurt by others... you dont have the chance to mistakenly hurt others either..

I find that this helps me empathise with others who have been deprived in some way (e.g. extreme poverty / physical disability); things that the rest of society might not truly understand because they take so many things for granted.
they can't hang around on the best forum on the interweb
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And we also learn to appreciate the very little things in social situations that usually are the most beautiful yet most overlooked actions people take for granted (like a hug, or the simple act of holding another's hand) to us with SA can mean the WORLD while to others means very little or nothing at all.
A deeper sense of appreciation when our goals are reached. I know I have.
Although we may be socially inept at times, we know better than to ask strangers invasive questions when we're at the bar. Also, we don't say idiotic things to people as we walk past them on the street.
that's exactly what i think of going out very often you have to deal with issues among your own group and this goes without mention that some friends stab you in the back when you don't even expectI noticed my friends hang out with each other all of the time, and they have arguments and drama. Someone gets mad, they say something, the other person gets mad. That's a burden we don't have to deal with often, or ever for some of us.
we won't have to worry about a huge phone bill XD
