I feel so inferior to other Aspies here...

Almost everyone here, it seems, communicates better than I do, at least online (the reason i think this, is because I notice light banter as well as "give and take" communication that go on very successfully in threads)

Whereas Im an oddball here, have no sense of give and take, just go on and on about myself

I also feel less intelligent than most people...

I had these very same jitters when I joined. Everyone posted in huge word walls back then it seemed like and it all seemed so daunting and intimidating. Stay with it, it gets easy to talk over time, most people wont try to bite your head off.

you're welcome one thing I gotta say, you WILL find the odd truculent type here and there, here on the wrong planet, but you just IGNORE THEM no matter what they say, it is just noise coming out of their mouths!

I often feel the same way.
It took me a long time to get settled in and feel comfortable.
When you get to know people here, I think the banter starts to come naturally.

I'm quite sure I'm less intelligent than most people here.
I don't even try to write those essay type posts.
That's not me.
I just 'speak' how I would naturally speak.
I find it easier that way.

I think you're doing ok.

just say what you feel like saying about your life and our common world. and if some people wanna be difficult, just remember in the words of the great Ted Geisel, "be who you are and say what you feel, because the people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter."
