Re: looking autistic/relating

[Guest guest]

I am still pretty bad at socializing with " typical "

people, and I can't stand small talk most of the time.

However, generally my social skills deficits

are not readily noticeable, cause I tend to avoid

places that are highly socially demanding, liek

arties.

Me too, Astrid, especially about the small talk and

parties. I do not mean to patronize you, just

relating to what you said. I have twins; one boy has

autism. I can relate to many feelings both of my sons

have. With both my sons, I can relate to anxiety and

situations which produce it (different for each boy).

And I have a very hard time with directions, written

and verbal, and so I'm somewhat a visual learner as

well. Many times I have to be shown how to do

something, or fiddle around with something until I've

figured out how to do it myself and that is how I

often have learned how to do things. I hope you have

SOMEONE looking after you, but I understand that many

people regardless of who they are, do not.
