Aspergers...?

[Albion]

I also just realised something I missed before. It also keeps mentioning sneaking, and preference for walking on toes and things like that. Despite being a big and somewhat unwieldy chap i apparently move very stealthily. I always used to frighten people by accident because i could be walking with them for several minutes listening to their conversation, and then talk and they would jump. It was so funny. Useful thing to have really. People always lose track of me, they turn one way to talk to me and find i am on the other side, not there, or i am there when they think i am not or don't hear me approaching. It is quite hilarious, although it happens less often nowadays.

It is always tempting to sneak up on people, but maybe i just inherited some practical joke preferences from my grandmother.

Yes, I've been told I sneak up on people as well even though I don't intentionally. I don't go shouting people, I just approach them and talk when I'me there instead of being loud to be heard some distance away. If this takes people by surprise sometimes then it's not my problem.

I call into serious question anyone who has Aspergers' (now called High-Functioning Autism) that it doesn't debilitate those of us who have it. It honestly makes my life so much harder and more conflicted.

Well it will if you go around feeling sorry for yourself and thinking badly of yourself. Part of dealing with it is forgetting about it and learning how to act around people. I dislike adjusting my behaviour to meet theirs, but compromise is the price I pay for a quiet life.
I don't want any psychologists attempting to read me, I don't want welfare, pity or anything from anyone else. I just compromise and emulate neurotypicals, not to the extent that I fit in perfectly, just enough so that I can function in society.

Greet people as they greet you, take up their ridiculous small talk - weather, popular tv, celebrities - anything you can feign interest in. Look people in the eye when it is warranted, fake a smile at even the crappiest joke (it shows politeness, at least your trying to find them funny).
Don't go into your own weird interests too much unless your with someone who you're certain shares such interests (unless it is something like football, in which case go for it). Read newspapers at lunch break, discuss some issue which most people seem to agree.

There's this btw, I only looked at a page of it but it might give you some ideas/

I am not diagnosed with Asbergers but I found out I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder when I was at school ...whoops..as a teacher(not student)..yes.. one of my student had ADHD and I knew nothing about that, because I am not graduated from a educational branch ,I am graduated from Literature. Later I got certificate as a teacher. Anyways..I started to read everything about education to fill the gap.

Than there was that boy 10 years old cute chubby boy ,passive or completely chaotic at lessons..He was rather warping himself to a dream state or using classroom as a playground..scored least at exams even not writing his name..I read school records that he has ADHD .I started to search about ADHD and saw I may have this syndrome ..(diagnosed by doctor later)

I took him in front seat and just gave eye contact (smiles,pets on shoulder,stickers as gifts etc)..nothing else..He started to join lessons..His mind and body were at same place at once..His points started to rose..He got 50 at first and yesss a full 100 A+ at last exam, proved himself he is actually not a retard but very very intelligent daydreamer..

And thought me I have ADHD...he helped me back ..I learnt a lot about myself and about my profession as a newbie teacher ,thanks to that 1O years old boy
I may have asbergers too, because I am too intoverted (asberger trait) and ı have low social skills..but I still can make a difference..like showing a boy that he is intelligent and quick in uptake if he can focus on something.

I was diagnosed with aspergers.. I do not consider it an advantage, it really makes it hard to communicate with people...
