How should an NT greet an Aspergian?

Post Reply New Topic

OP, At the other end of the day... How do you say goodbye to people?
No, really!! I've worked in jobs where every day I've stayed late so I never had to work out what to say( or not?) to all the other people leaving the offices at closing time:-S
When I have encountered people leaving at the same time as me they've asked personal questions like, for instance, about what I'm going to do later:-/! !
OP, How does your colleague handle that?

I think cash is a good greeting.

I think the ideal way for anyone to greet me would be to stay straight faced and speak without any intonation: "Hi Rob" or "hello Rob"

Oh, this reminds me that when I say "bye," I usually say "Have a good night, if you want to" because I don't feel like I should be telling people what to do. It's a small joke that no one "gets."

Also, I should note that I did not learn the value of greetings, partings and small talk until I was in my late 20s, and had to force myself into the habit. Before then, I found such idle chatter to be pointless and offensive.

This one particular lady says, "Hi, real name" and usually walks right past me unless she has something specific to say or ask. I just realized I never say her name. I just say hi back. Sometimes she doesn't look at me even if I am helping. I like the way she greets me the best. I also just realized she never asks me how I am or anything like that.
This same lady once told me that I am a pattern thinker a long time ago and I didn't know what to say but she told me she meant it as a good thing.

This is a highly individual thing, and as other people with only a label in common with this person, we can't really discern what is best for her.

I suggest you ask her directly how she prefers to be greeted and then stick with the choice she makes.

Walk by without pausing, and casually say "Hey..." a half-second before you're out of earshot. Mission accomplished.

* She knows you're out of earshot a half second later, so she's absolved of having to respond.

* You haven't confronted her and asked something that demands an answer. If she grunts something back, take it as a compliment. If she doesn't, it's probably because she didn't notice you. If she didn't notice you, DO NOT turn around and go back for a second attempt. Just let it slide, and pat yourself on the back -- you've refrained from stressing her out and forcing her to actively stop whatever she's doing and focus her attention on you. That's good.

Don't wave. Don't stop and smile. All waving or stopping & smiling will do is startle her and/or make her feel guilty for not reciprocating.

In other words, your goal is to politely make her aware of your presence and greeting, without startling her or breaking her train of thought, and without stressing her out by obligating her to return the greeting or actively react to it. Remember, to an aspie, forced social interaction == unpleasant stress.

(disclaimer: I'm an aspie with ADD, so my answer is slightly biased in favor of not being startled or having my train of thought forcibly interrupted).

Hello, "Aspie name". That's it. Don't ask how I am because we both know you don't want an honest answer.

I still advocate cash, or maybe a gift card.
