I was reading some posts on this thread, and let me say NT's often have a lot of anxiety. I'm NT and I have an anxiety disorder. Just because people have a lot of anxiety doesn't mean they are AS.

BTW, I'm pretty sure your brother and his girlfriend were talking about sex, but if they were talking about stage fright then her anxiety is probably bad. 40% of people suffer from some degree of stage fright. It's the most common social fear among people.


I had an inkling that they might have been talking about sex too which would have definitely been a reason for him to lash out at his little brother for asking. I was hoping it was stage fright since they, or at least the brother is only 15. And I did not want to plant the sex bug in our friend's mind since he is only 14. When I was that age I was still very innocent but these days kids are talking about sex in elementary school. So it is possible and that would definitely had made the brother angry if that was the case. Hopefully for their sake it was stage fright.

I have found that some people are very open and comfortable talking about sex. I tend to have a lot of questions since sex is kind of something I don't really fully understand. I am married so I kind of just do it for my husband but I don't know that I really fully get it. I would much rather go skiing or something! I don't want to talk too much in this thread about that since I don't think it would be appropriate. But I wrote that because I often have questions and I ask people. But I guess it depends on the person. Some people answer my questions very openly and honestly and others get embarrassed so it really depends on how comfortable they are with you and with the subject. I guess most people might be uncomfortable but I have found that many are fine to talk about it, I have even had teenagers talk very openly to me about it and my siblings have too. But some people get very embarrassed and uncomfortable so I just try to do my best to respect that and if people are uncomfortable I don't ask them things but if the others don't mind my asking I just ask them. I guess it also helps because sometimes they know that I am different and that I don't ask in order to make them uncomfortable but because I really just don't know. So I think that because they understand that my intentions are good they don't mind explaining things to me.
