I used to be advocate of the social grenades and guns blazing approach, until i found out the past couple of years (belatedly due to impaired ToM) that most people thought i was a complete nutter and i never knew. At least my impaired ToM presentation means I was sheltered from what people actually thought. I must say, though, it has been rather devastating to realise i am weirder in the eyes of others than i ever imagined. I thought i was doing swimmingly at chameleon -like disguise. it seems not.
I am the last one standing. the rest left by the front and back doors while i was staring at the ceiling fan and the checkered carpet whilst talking loudly and incessantly about AS.
