Hi, Just like heaven, one thing is for sure we are not alone, in a way it is quite warming to hear others have the same issues and that we are not alone in feeling so very alone, I too have AS and find the whole high functioning thing confusing, are some of us just better at learning to communicate? Is that what makes us High Functioning? Because we all have learnt behaviors and just because we can communicate in a Neurotypical manner does not mean that waht we say is what we mean?
