Hello Essex from Northampton!
I can't think of anything worse to do than go into a shopping centre whilst on holiday. Especially seeing as you are so near the Stratford Westfields anyway! |

| Wow thats a lot of responses, all of them interesting! Out of interest, has anyone ever encountered two people by accident who both knew you separately, both in very different ways. Perhaps one is an old friend who knows you properly and you were planning on meeting that day and the other a work col... |

| I think age plays a big part. At 21 I wasn't great with anyone at University but I got better by taking note of what more socially confident people do. I also found getting pushed to do things like presentations etc really helped. What I've generally done is had one friend that has been close and I ... |

| Think I've only slipped up once when hearing that sentence. I wasn't thinking and replied with "yeah I'm fine, just... bored". |

| That sounds pretty much spot on accurate as to what I did growing up. As far as flying under the radar goes it definitely works. It feels so much like putting on a show. Actually its the reason for my name on here, the character Gully Foyle is from a book called The Stars My Destination, he has an e... |

| Hi Dots, That sounds remarkably similar in a lot of respects. It is pretty much like a mental 180! You've actually brought up something I only actually realised I did yesterday, scripting out conversations! I spend hours at it but its been the norm for years so I'd completely forgotten that I do it.... |

| Hello, Third post so thought I'd stick it in the 'General discussion' section rather than the 'I'm new!' one. I'm 25 and its only now that I'm staring to admit that Aspergers is something I'm dealing with and I'm still trying to determine what traits I share with others. I'm planning a trip abroad t... |

| If I'm not comfortable everybody notices and there's nothing I can do that makes much of a difference. I know that one! Up until recently I'd always assumed that my discomfort was pretty well hidden but apparently my expression says it all and is generally followed by the usual questions from whoev... |

| Second post so I thought I'd keep it in the 'new' section. Question: How well do you disguise AS traits in social situations with NT's? In times where you have to socially interact, or in lines of work where networking or team cooperation etc is involved do you find that it is possible to slip 'unde... |

| Thanks for the replies both of you and the welcomes all 3 of you. (This is by far the friendliest forum I've ever read!) They both make sense and yeah being honest about my relationship with my parents is probably the easiest option. Don't know why I didn't think of that! I always picture the NHS as... |

| Hello, This is my first post here but it looks like I've come to the right place for advice! I'm 25 and after a rather horrific time at University I began to suspect that I had some degree of Aspergers Syndrome. I voiced my concern to my long term girlfriend and her parents and it turned out they ha... |
