I have to share this, it's brilliant! One of the best case histories I've seen in ages on how to blend in socially.

Spend a few moments and check this out...

Good advice, but a lot to remember.

a lot to think about in the throes of a conversation, which is probably why socializing is so exhaustive to me.

This was cool to watch. I wish I knew who she was so I could watch some of the acting she's done.

I'm an actor, and I find it hard because I have a hard time making myself use body language. I'm very stiff and I don't gesture and it makes me look awkward. I have to consciously work to overcome that. And when I was active in theatre, networking was always the second hardest part, after the body language thing.

Also what she said about networking is useful, but I sometimes don't remember what I talked about with a person last time we talked, unless I thought it was really cool or something.

If that girl “has autism” like she says, then I’m even more shocked that I was already that I wasn’t diagnosed until earlier this year, because she seems five thousand times more “normal” than I ever have.
