Hi,
I think I have "half-aspergers". I get more than pure aspies in social situations but I don't get it fully. So I might have a slight idea about what is going on but I eventually mess it up because I get half of the information or only a wage idea about what is going on. sometimes I actually get the totally right idea but don't pay attention to it because the idea is not very important to me or not very salient. then afterwards I realize that the feeling I suspected the other person may have was actually correct!
the problem is I don't know much about different feelings. It hasn't been thought to me. I lived in Isolation my whole life (so maybe I actually not at all have asperger's but it's lack of training)
Anyways, I'm looking for a book, preferably called "feelings and emotions for dummies" where every single feeling, simple or complex, is explained in a way that I actually get it (idiot proof way).
are you aware of such book? maybe childrens book or something. I think that would also work.
