I sincerely appologize for any insults or misconduct-

I promise you that it was not intentional.

I have an autism spectrum disorder and have been trying very hard to figure out how relationships work o__O

Every day I leaarn something new - What to say, what not to say...

What to post or what not to...

I assure you that I meant no harm and will learn from any reactions.

 

Thank you.

What?

Autism.

Do not understand social rules.

Limited obsessions.

In my sig.

What?

 

this

 

EDIT: I know a guy with autism, man, he really has it rough :\ Everyone at school is always making fun of him and stuff...

Yes, it is hard.

It is very difficult to be in busy places,

get and keep friends,

and I get made fun of daily.

I do however have one friend who I love dearly.

well what do you want to learn about realtionships ?! Everyone differs you could say something and someone will think its funny as fuck and the other could be upset by it ...

Could you be a bit more specific ?

Yes, it is hard.

Aww sorry !! Who is your friend

 

edit: DP :cry:

I agree with Sara. People with autism can made fun of constantly and it makes me really sad... :(

Guy I met at school,

not on the forum.

 

Just things like what to say,

what facial expressions mean,

what gestures or posture means,

impression given off...

I cannot understand it D:

I always end up insulting someone or interupting people to start ranting about Arhtropods

or watch tv in my head and quote entire shows and annoy people.

You get used to it when it has happened all your life.

When I get really stressed

Being in busy places or under certain lights

near certain sounds

I act exactly like rainman.

It scares some people.

This is where internet comes handy!

If you Google and YouTube to imformation about facial expressions and tips about living with Autism, you can train by yourself to learn it better! :)

Thank you,

and I do.

It is just almost impossible to understand D:

 

I know that when peoples eyes and mouth are down they are sad,

and when they scrunch their eyebrows they are angry

and if teeth are showing they are happy.

What type of Autism do you have exactly? Sound like a big type right?

 

And what I hear is that almost everyone haves a bit of Autism.

Nobody knows exact all facial expressions and how to handle in busy places, well most people.

I have read a lot of books on it too.

I am getting better,

and occupational therapy helps too.

Aspergers,

but Aspergers ranges in seriousness.

:cry: = Crying/Sad

:) = Smiling/Happy/Proud

:( = Sad/Worried

:shocked2: = Shocked/Surprised

:D = Happy

:lol: = Very happy/funny

:smug: = Proud

 

Not perfect this little list but can help!

Aspergers,

but Aspergers ranges in seriousness.

There are alot of different types under Aspergers and every person is different(even without Autism)

 

But don't feel bad because of having Autism, there are good parts!

I find it a little strange that this user claims to not understand facial expressions, yet has used the "D:" smiley more than once in this thread.

If you do not know facial expression does'nt mean you don't know all of them.

Like he said he know what a few are.

 

And if you see many people using :D or D: when they are happy you can copy it when you are happy.

Thank you very much, Stephenbass!

It does help a little,

especially when the faces are exagerated.

 

Computer faces are a lot eaier because they have less subtleties.

 

Many people have certain aspects that contribute to autism,

but the problem is when many charecteristic coexist in one person.

I do know angry and sad, so I can use those expressions.

 

Stephanbass, you are very helpful <3

And internet is full of helpfull information and tips to learn to deal with the problems.

 

It is always to 'learn' the things you miss with youre Autism.

It takes time and motivation, but if you realy wan't to learn to live like other people do, try and try and try! Nothing to lose when trying new paths in youre life!
