The Revamped TSR Asperger's Society!

No I am in a room getting tutored after school and she walked in to print something and thats when she did it.

There is no context she just gets the printed stuff and comes through and draws the smiley face to be funny.

Its pretty easy to grasp.

Do you guys tend to look back on social situations and think about the other persons mannerisms and what they meant by certain gestures they made.

I tend to ruminate way too much on social situations where I think I've cocked up or that somebody might think of me in a negative light. Even if what happened seemed rather minimal.

Do you know why you struggle? Part of my problem was that I had no interest in the subject at all.

It wasn't clear to me so that's why I asked

I can see why you have problems with people if you behave like this when they're trying to help you

If you're so intelligent, as you keep going on and on about, why do you need any extra assistance in the first place?

I never had any when I was at school or college

I'm afraid if you go down the 'I need loads of support as I've got problems' route then you'll get patronised to death - it goes with the territory

Well I don't need support for learning. Its for exams, I mis interpet questions and stuff like that. But anyone looking at me and talking to me would know i'm not thick.

I really am fed up of judgemental people.

I was only diagnosed at 16 but one thing i've learn't is never be so judgemental.

Yes and i'm going to be honest and say sometimes I don't understand what social gues are.

I understand most jokes and scial gues but when people give me certain looks I stare back thinking "what does that mean?"

Sometimes people try and be friendly by asking me questions and sitting beside me but I don't know how to return the favour. People think that I will just act like anyone else and have a full blown conversation and make friends. But really I don't know how to make friends tbh lol.

You are a lot like me btw. Like I lost a lot of interest in my course, even in first year where I did fairly well, in fact got very good marks in quite a few of my modules I never seemed too interested in my course. In a lecture I'd go to sleep after 10mins so eventually I stopped going.

Finally, since it's a characteristic to have an obsession with certain characteristics and certain topics. What do you follow a lot, I assume you have the condition?

I fail to see why Aspergers makes it hard to understand exam questions

I found this. Programming bored me to death. Not helped by really struggling with it. Databases were equally dull. Hardware and software and the law side of things were fine. But I never really had to do that much work for hardware and software. I had to self teach myself similar stuff in college; so it was just a follow on of that.



Currently, it's music, forensics and sport. (running, swimming and football mostly) I've had these since I was 12. I'm now nearly 25. I can't see them changing anytime soon. Do have a really embarrassing obsession which I am not going to admit, too.



Because we may take things a different way than intended. I did that on Facebook and admin threatened to kick me out of the group. Someone did argue that I do have a point.

When I did exams we were sometimes told we could ask an exam invigilator if we needed clarification on questions but not sure if that was just for mock or lower level exams. Generally you just got on with it as an exam is a test of what you know, not what you assisted by someone else know

We couldn't do that. We could ask for the question to be read to us. But we couldn't ask for them to explain the question.

I'm not totally sure they did say this - perhaps it was just reading it out.

I just have a problem with people getting extra help as they aren't competing on an equal basis are they?

They are if due to their Aspergers, (which is different for everyone) they struggle in that area.
