So I found grammar errors in the project's blueprints and I became totally annoyed seeing that that was an asymmetric prototype. I proposed a symmetric one.

The grammar don't needed to be corrected in that moment and the prototype was only a prototype.

What made people dislike my opinion was the how I said that, not what i said.

My english is not very good because I'm not a native speaker of this language. I'm saying this only because I did the point about grammar errors.


Yeah, nitpicking about grammar for a prototype is probably not going to win you any favours.

NLD presents as very outgoing and sociable, but no less weird than AS, so the results are the same ostracism.


Interesting, I don't know much about NLD but then again I'm still kind of new to AS.

I can easily do information exchange. I don't do social stuff to build alliances and play office politics. I am retired now but my career ended early due to my choice and my lack of ability to play the game well. I am so happy to be away from that torture chamber.


Oh, how I hate office politics, alliances and the game. I do my best to stay clear of that but I know opting out has its career disadvantages. What line of business were you in?

I think most do this to a degree just maybe more exaggerated for aspies.


I agree that it happens to a degree for NTs but nevertheless they seem to do relatively well with casual chitchat. I feel particularly awkward with jokes are flying around a meeting room or faking smiles while passing others in the hallway. While I generally suck at and dislike small-talk in any context, I'm definitely worse at it during work. I wonder how many Aspies stay in work-mode even when in a social context.


Oh yep... I contrast the highly social folk who deftly swim the social scene at balls, 3-day events and so on - events that I saw from the other side as a member of St John Ambulance...

I have been a techie at every church I attended - I wouldn't know where to start if I didn't have a job to do..

Gets very lonely and isolating though..
