I'm thinking about that group thing the other day, and I remember that man who I think was an aspie: odd way to move, not looking in the eye or very little when talking and difficulties to register direct auditory information. He looked very lost there. And I thought I'm not like that. So I know we are all different and ASD varies from one another, but no. But she looked at me puzzled or "coolled" at some point. I'm polite, don't interrupt, but it's to the point. I ask the info and that's it. I probably don't always look in the eye, don't smile (much) probably. Easily distracted by the people and noise all around, and I rapidly needed air, felt like crying even (change, too much sensory input..). It's SPD can be without autism, maybe, but when I read it all, lots of common points. + inattentive ADD could work (too).
