| Hi - Was just wondering if anyone was in mensa (or wanted to admit to it). I'm thinking about doing the test, as it seems like an interesting thing to do, and offers possible social opportunities. Wondering though they're probably mainly NT, perhaps there'd be an overrepresentation of spectrum peop... |

| Definitely Forrest Gump, but I used to have violent outbursts and hit other kids which I don't think was in Forrest's character. |

| Interesting to read the replies. When I'm tired or stressed and I try to talk it always ends up a mess, so I try not too talk at these times. Most of the time I say too little. Sometimes I'm aware I'm going on too much and showing my oddness (mostly get too caught up in irrelevent detail, too pedant... |

| i was just wondering how many people have an obvious speech disorder with their autism? i think it's this that people react first to, and maybe my lack of care about clothes etc. it gets worse when i'm tired. it's monotone most of the time, but when it's obvious is when i leave off beginnings of wor... |

| Our daughter doesn't think we should talk to anyone when we are out because they are strangers. I don't seem to be able to make her understand that it is okay to say hello to the salesperson when that person says hello. Any suggestions? [color=violet]Hi mommyofone. You could praise her for knowing ... |

| Mine has to be when I was at a New Years Eve party, and someone said "You don't talk much do you?" and I tried desperately to think of a good reply, but in the end everyone walked off. And I was alone for the rest of the night. That's sounds awful. I can relate. I have had many where I just have no... |

| It's funny - though I've read about body language and know it exists, I didn't realise I don't do it til recently. Or read it. I thought I "knew" about body language. Like an observer or something. I just watch it and know it exists, but I have no idea what it's communicating or what I'm communicati... |

| Hi - Just for interest, Albert Einstein was an excellent speaker and socialiser and spent time hobnobbing with the upper eschalons. His colleague Niels Bohr, with whom he had a famous long-running philosophical-scientific "argument", was a notoriously bad speaker (hard to understand). He seems to me... |
