This site is for the entire world. The response depends on your country. Perhaps you can ask your local Autism organization? |

| Question for NTs: With respect to obsessions, why is it considered more appropriate to obsess about sports and cars among NTs, but when a aspie/autist is obsessed with their interest, theyre considered and oddity? On one hand, it depends on who you talk to. On the other hand, you ask a deep sociolo... |

| I have a question for both NTs and Aspies. When you look somebody in the eyes (make eye contact), what do you see? Do you get non verbal clues about the emotion state of that person? Do you focus on the pattern of the irises? Or you see something else? Biologically, eyes move in certain patterns in... |

| Yes, I think you should call him back and explain that this is exactly the sort of thing your autism makes it difficult for you to do. While some autistics get good at it using a version of acting, that isn't common and its still much more stressful than NT's can ever relate to. If he agrees, you c... |

This weekend, I am booked at a church where the minister will be absent. He booked me because his chu... |

I don't know how to answer your question. I can't get a mental image of what you a... |

They may have control issues. Best to try to speak softer than the volume of the aggressor ... |

| A question for NTs..... I was reading on another thread here that NTs tend to be repelled by the conservation at WP. Most don't stick around. What is it that makes you leave? Is it the subject matter? Is it the nature of the conversation? Or is it something else? I don't find the conversation unusu... |

I have a badge given by the municipality, to show I'm a resident. The badge must go onto the right side top corner of the windshield, by law. The cashier at the... |

| 4. Why in work situations don't those in positions of authority let the worker know what is not a desirable behavior if it is something that should be addressed?
