Thats cool. I wrote that message rather late at night ... didn't really expect it to get so looong.

Well you do seem to be lucky. Most autistic people I've come across haven't had your ability to cope with the day to day things. I couldn't even begin to even think about being a salesman ... people to me are far too scary . Its so much nicer coping with them online. Although that doesn't always work, and if you're not lucky people start trying to bite your head off for something you've said in good faith. Which ironically is autistic itself in a sense .

And its funny what you said about human interaction. I cannot bear being round more than 3 people in a room at any one time for even short periods of time. But put me on my own for a while, I start going stir crazy ... although when people are with me again, I wish the bloody things would go away ... I somehow can't seem to win .

[QUOTE="schticknz, post: 45015"] Thats cool. I wrote that message rather late at night ... didn't really expect it to get so looong. Well you do seem to be lucky. Most autistic people I've come across haven't had your ability to cope with the day to day things. I couldn't even begin to even think about being a salesman ... people to me are far too scary :D. Its so much nicer coping with them online. Although that doesn't always work, and if you're not lucky people start trying to bite your head off for something you've said in good faith. Which ironically is autistic itself in a sense :cool:. And its funny what you said about human interaction. I cannot bear being round more than 3 people in a room at any one time for even short periods of time. But put me on my own for a while, I start going stir crazy ... although when people are with me again, I wish the bloody things would go away ... I somehow can't seem to win :D. [/QUOTE]
