Don't know if this is on topic but for anyone who signs - I find I sign just as unclearly as I speak. Idiosyncratically. I will blur signs into my own sort of muddled way that is slightly different in form to standard correctness. I also do so less-than-expressively. I see lots of especially deaf people who seem (to me) to exaggerate facial expressions and other gestures, mouth the words while signing, etc. One tutorial I accessed even said "botox users need not apply - you must be expressive!"
When I sign, I will look at my hands or like I do when I talk, look around and not at the other person directly. I do not make eye contact when I sign or speak.
Autism affects the way I sign just as it does how I speak. I wonder if there is a huge difference between someone who signs because they are partially nonverbal autistic, and someone who signs because they have a hearing impairment.

I hope i can continue to communicate boldly and brashly without miscommunicating my mantra onto anyone too much. They might mind so much that they want to take the law into their own hands and start mischarging entrance fees as a continuous misemploy of the mind.

Depression has ret*d communication.
Or I'm just ret*d.

Do you find it happens more here than IRL ?

^ Much more.
My mind is still reeling.
It's like you have to footnote each post with a declaration of intent.

I feel like that sometimes. Maybe I should add in the site suggestion about having a function where you can declare your post intent

Please tick the box that denotes your posts intent

[] Chewing the fat
[] Debating
[] Sarcasm
[] Yes I am having a go at you

People are just too sensitive on here sometimes......

I was hoping, Mr. Ferret, that you would Google Neil from 7-Up. He's quite a success story, actually.

I am so incredibly DONE with verbal communication, that's it, I quit, I never want to speak another word as long as I live. :evil:
After yet another epic fail because of verbal communication (or at least partially) it really rubs my face in how important signing fluency is. If I can sign more fluently, then it is a great indication to other people that I CANNOT speak, and therefore others cannot FORCE me to speak and just screw everything up which is what happens every time I try to talk recently.
They cannot engage me in pointless chatter which is just noise noise noise and I don't want to have to deal with it anymore.
I hate speech. I need another way. Formal class isn't on until October and that's if they even get the numbers, and private tutoring is $60 an hour for a minimum of two hours + travel. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I just watched this , is this who you mean ? It was interesting to watch and seems eerily close to my story but completely different ( if you know what I mean ) , Has he ever been diagnosed , do you think he was on the spectrum ( sure seemed like it to me ). I've always felt like I wasn't prepared for life and often wondered what stumbling blocks I missed like Neil alluded too. Even though you deemed him a success I found the story quite sad , I didn't get the feeling he thought he had won at life , maybe because I felt his pain :roll:

That's Neil when he was younger. Look at him age 42 and beyond. He wasn't doing well at 35.

Like I said, he was a Councilman in various places.

You should try to watch his older (age) segments in their entirety. You'll see, more, how he succeeded than how he "failed."

He didn't reveal a Spectrum diagnosis, nor any other, for that matter.

He seems vaguely Aspergian to me.

I mean....Neil's not perfect. He has his days of discontent. But don't we all?

He's a good man, and I think he'll be more content as he gets older, and realizes that people must play the "Neil" role, in a sense.

He harms no one. In fact, he does lots of good.

We need our eccentrics, just like we need our hip people,
