Thanks for the link! I find that a quite solid and easily understood primer on how to learn and practice basic good conversational skills. It even provides good sentences that I can memorize and experiment with using.

Conversational skills are something studied and practiced by NT's (do a quick Amazon query for a list of bestsellers), so I figure as an Aspie I am well advised to do the same.

I could always get better at conversing.

I refuse to BS about sports because my cat knows more about sports than I do.

How much of our lives are we expected to spend learning about bs with no practical or interest value in order to navigate conversations? I'm not a politician or a sycophant. I refuse to waste my life thinking about sport!`

I long ago glommed onto h.l. Mencken's tart comment, "people who like sports hate common sense."

A garden slug would know more about sports than I do (or would want to!)

an amoeba knows more about sports than I do.

i know about sports. I mean, i Know what going on in sports. I just see no reason to sit around conversing about who what how, how fast, how far, how hard. borrring.

lol that proves it!
