I also would wait for a while. In fourth grade, I would sometimes spend an hour trying to think of how to word my request to my teacher for a pencil in order to write an assignment.

I don't communicate till the need becomes desperate and then I get angry and that makes communication easy for me but hard for the other person. If I do try to communicate before the need is desperate I apparently don't put enough "feeling" into my communication and no one listens because they think it is not important.
Since anger is the only emotion I know how to express it gets a lot of overuse in my world. I am much happier if I can just communicate with touch but no one gets what I am trying to say.

It depends on whom I'm asking. If it's family, I do a little sweet talk before I come right out and ask, especially if it's money. In public, I'm getting better at it, particularly in restaurants since I'm picky when it comes to food.
