| I also plan my conversations, gives me a little more control, you can have influence on (the outcome of) the conversation by your choice and tone of words. However my non-verbal communication is out of control, so it doesn't always work due to that. |

For me, the avoidance of eye contact is for two reasons/situations:
- the avoidance of contact in general (if you don't attract their attention, they'll leave you alone)
- to concentrate on what the other is saying (visual information distorts audible information) |

Han shot first, Greedo's shot is edited in to make Han look like the guy who shoots back instead of shoot first. |

I don't hold grudges however, except when people are ignorant, I hate that (that goes in the ignorant people dr... |

| One of my best friends (NT) is very social and extroverted, I find it very interesting to see how easy it is for him to meet other people, start and contribute to a conversation. I can't do that, probably never will or feel the need to, but it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, but with other socia... |

I only had Aspie/NT relationships (me being the Aspie ), so I don't have any personal experience, but I found the film Mozart and the Whale a good description of an Aspie/Aspie relationship (it has a happy ending  ). |

| Extremely narrow minded, on the one hand they accuse us 'not seeing the forest through the trees' (I hope I get the expression/metaphor right), but when It comes to social skills, they only see their tree and not our tree, metaphorically speaking. |

I get this all the time, I must say, my entire life.
Because you don't fit in their box, they place you in one, and because you lack social skills, you will also lack intelligence. I think that is how 'they' think. |
