| Hmm...I've never heard any names (not surprising...I tend to ignore any comments) but people often mimick my movements and actions. Stiff walk, monotone voice, Aspie stare (you know what I mean). And I'm willing to bet that there have been many comments...just unheard by me. Oh well. |

| You see, last year I presented a monologe (sp?) in my freshman English class. My teacher had me practice one on one until I knew the words like the back of my hand. Then we added eye contact (the horrors!). I had it down...until I got up in front of the class. I lost it. I couldn't remember a thing.... |

| My teacher has told us we will be required to write a persuasive essay and deliever it in the form of a speech. I am not good at talking to groups, so what should I do? How can I prepare? |

| It happens to me, too. It's terrible when we're given verbal instructions in class and I have to ask the teacher to repeat themselves. When it's written I am fine. So annoying! |

| I tend to flap my hands a lot...I also pace...and toe-walking is a stim for me (usually during pacing). |

| I talk to very few of my peers (I do have a few...um...3 friends). They (peers, not friends) usually assume I am stuck up and emo (both untrue). Teachers, however, are a different story. They all like me and I can talk (for the most part) to them easily. They wait for me to get the words out, respon... |

| What does it mean to "talk at" someone rather than "talk to" someone? It has been mentioned that I "talk at" people, but I don't quite understand the meaning of this. Can someone please clarify? |

| I am just wondering if maybe a lack of "fashion sense" could be related to AS. I wear a very limited array of clothing: T-shirts (think of free shirts, school shirts) (I only have about 6) Jeans (three pairs that are all the same) 2 long sleeve shirts (put under t shirts on cold days) 1 jacket (it c... |
