| I know it's often been said that Aspies lack the nonverbal fluency to tell if someone is being subtly hostile with them (like, micro-aggressions, veiled insults, petty put-downs or faint praise, etc.) which can get us into some unpleasant or embarrassing situations...but what about the reverse??

| I am engaged in a self organized housing project over a long time and over the years I more and more learned, that there are many people in the spectrum, who emotionally prefer to talk by mouth with the people they live with in a house, often such ones too, that say in forums, that they like to wri... |

| I only ever cry during autistic meltdowns. otherwise the most that's ever happened is a tear or two and that's only in very deep sadness. I wish i did cry because you always feel better after crying. |

| This is continuing on from the "going out in public" thread, but I didn't want to derail the thread so I thought it was best if I made my own thread on this subject. Strangers are more judgemental. You can't do anything in public without people looking at you and judging. Just today I was... |

| Nitpicking, like I could point out that Aspergers is no longer considered a diagnosis, it is now called Autism level 1. It is different for different people, but I am really good at proof reading, at the expence of me not being able to skim through texts, and being a slow reader. /Mats I could poin... |
