The general rule (at least in Northern England) seems to be that it's okay to talk to strangers about something transactional ("What time is the bus?", "Ca... |

| Another good book is Aspergers in Love: Couple Relationships and Family Affairs. It has a section on sex and how many people with AS can find it difficult, especially if they have some hypersensitivity to touch. |

For some reason I always keep a blank tab open to the right, and habitually Ctrl+Tab between it and my other tabs. |

| I've gotten quite good at buying things in shops. Sometimes I can seem quite pleasant and casual for short bursts, and it makes me proud of myself. I even have a few scripted responses for particular situations. e.g. if I'm buying an age-restricted product, I'll say, "Would you like to see my ID? It... |

| From what I have read, not everybody has one permanent special interest. Sometimes AS folk get bored of one thing and move on to the next.
