Happens to me all the time, and to NT's I think.
If you ask someone what you were talking about in a conversation five minutes ago it's likely they wont remember. At least not right at once. |

I'll be blogging the whole thing as I write it here: http://www.krishstories.blogspot.com/ Are any of you guys doing the same, because I'd be inte... |

| I've come across this question on various forms, but never encountered an actual 'autistic spectrum' box. I'm not sure what I would do really. You'd have to think about whether ticking it would likely make things easier or harder for you - which depends a lot on the type of job. |

I have trouble ending conversations as well. It' hard to know what to say to end it.
"I have to go . . ." Sounds pretty good. Just have to hope they don't ask why. |

| Year seven was a pretty bad year for me. Being the youngest pupils year sevens were the targets for the rest of the school and were subject to a whole lot of casual violence on a day to day basis. This included being herded into the corner of a classroom and having chairs thrown at us, being threate... |

| Maximum of tree; anymore and I fnd it impossible to know when I can speak, so end up not saying anything. Also with three (rather than two) you don't have to maintain eye contact with the same person the whole time. |

I'm not a big fan of phones. Mainly because the person isn't there in front of me, so I can't play off thier reactions and emotions, and I can never quite work out if it's my turn to speak.
Also I hate making phone calls because I feel like I'm . . . intruding or something. |

| Just wondering if anyone here plays paintball? I know it doesn't sound like the kind of thing that aspie's would enjoy, but I've been a couple of times and I was quite surprised. For the record I hate most sports: especially things like soccer and basketball. Paintball's different though: First of a... |

| I do this too. If I want to talk someone I get thier attention by saying 'hi' or something similar, never by saying thier name. I don't know why either, but if I do have to mention someone's name it just feels so . . . awkward, y'know? Sometimes I even sort of burt out the name really quickly just t... |

| I find it hard to determine what counts as a friend. At a guess I'd say five or six. We're good friends, in that we've known each other for a long time, or get on well, but we're not particularly close. I don't really hang out with them much like other people do, but that's fine because they know I'... |

I used to be a little afraid of fire alarms, simply because of the volume.
At high school though people would set them off to get out of lessons at least once or twice a week, so I got used to them. |
