Anybody acquainted with trusted NTs familiar with AS/HFA? Schedule a time to sit-down and speak with a trusted NT.
WP would really become helpful if we boost collaboration on what might be helpful with AS/HFA.
Collaborating with trusted NTs, and discussing experiences here on WP would allow.........WP to become increasingly helpful!!

I need someone with social skills around, because my EQ is very low, and using the IQ as a substitute is both very time-consuming and ineffective.

TV's aspie, Sheldon Cooper, was surrounded by people who forgave his quirks and helped him socially, in order to further their mutual interests with his more focussed insight.
