i can use the telephone for family clsoe family eg mum. anything also i pt off for a long as....................................... possable
just hate it....

I hate talking to anyone on the telephone.

i have 1good friends and we can talk on the telephone but it sometimes can be quite diffcuite for me but she non me a very long time and she nows what i fnd diffcuite..

telephone i i don't have to make eye contact.

me too.
often i can't do it.

otherwise it depends on the circumstance. my mother or someone else i'm very comfortable with: easier than in person because i have only their voice to focus on although i will catch myself staring at ordinary familiar objects during the conversation and being unable to make sense of them since my main focus is somewhere else, and find this vaguely distressing.

informational phone calls (to phone company, etc) frustrate me no end (to the point of getting enraged) and i should never attempt them. frustrated right now because i'm looking for someone to see for diagnosis and the two people i have contacted so far have avoided giving me particular information in emails and have included phone numbers for further questions / initial consultation. do these people actually know anything about people with AS?

im the same way. honistly when the phone rings, ill freak out a little hoping its just a telemarketer and not somebody i cant ignore.
