I'm new to the site, and have done a lot of searching and was looking for some help. I am going to try and play the NT 'game' and wondering if anyone can recommend some good books on body language, social etiquette, communications skills, etc. I realize I am probably going to fail terribly as I have always, but really would like to research it a lot so that I might be able to carry on a 'normal' conversation.

1. Books: Neuro Linguistic Programming, by Richard Bandler and/or John Grinder.

2. Check out "nutbag's blog" on this site. I have just begun skills.

Don't laugh, but I would suggest How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie. There are some gems in there. And anything by Miss Manners.
