Depending on your mental capacity... you learn how to act around people.
I have a lot of thoughts running around in my head when interacting with others. I'm aware of: the words, body language, tone of voice, the way I laugh, how often I look the other person in the eye etc. It's not the most natural thing for me to act in the most common way... but I know how to do it... so I "force" myself to do just that. It can cause a lot of distress inside of me, without others noticing it at all.
My "social therapist" says: "You are seemingly like everyone else."
I posted this in another thread:
Quote:
There are 3 "types" of AS... roughly speaking:
1. The social - who wants to be in contact with other people and are doing well when interacting with others.
2. The withdrawn - wants to spend time alone rather than amongst other people.
3. The more noticeable AS - acting in a less common way. Developing his/her own "lifestyle".
