Apparently call-centre and sales staff (at the company where I used to work) are trained to perfect it.


Wow, only been here a day and already have some accuse me of being neurotypical. Well that might not have been what you were going for, but the use of bolding made it feel like I was on trial and Von Karma was slamming his hands on a desk.

No, I was actually referring more to the comment about what Attwood had written. I seem to have missed a post by Von Karma, which I assume was removed(?)

I do not think this is an NT or Asperger's specific trait; even though both sets of people may do this, I believe their reasons for doing so are very different. One could say that NTs may do this to fit in with others, and that people with Asperger's may do it because they don't know how to act when faced with socialization...this is just my opinion, but feel free to disagree. :)
