I relate to these posts....I made a good living for many years as a freelance writer and magazine editor -- writing is one of my special interests, and the people contact is limited with clear boundaries and rules.....

Yeah, I relate....This happens to me exactly like you described when I'm stressed....! !! ! I find that my AS seems to make me "freeze" or pause when I'm growing in some area of my life -- the result can be this kind of panic feeling, because I know there's a problem and I am not able to quickly res...

Thank you for that feeback. That was helpful.... I'm actually hanging around a lot of people now who like to rush quickly into intimate conversations, and I'm trying to hang back and still have stuff to say....Probably a lot of them are aspies, actually, and completely unfamiliar with the terrain......

Partly, I guess, because I've had to teach myself from scratch in some ways, I'm not too bad with people anymore -- I enjoy being with people, can talk to them and listen, engage and connect...

I spend time every day on my "special interests"....I've recently been sharing some of them with others, and that makes me become sort of more self-aware/self-conscious about them....I was just wondering if others have thoughts/experienc...
