    How I do eye-contact

    Social skills groups at autism centers

    I've gone mute altogether. I get in trouble for the comments that come out my mouth, mostly spontaneously. My therapist thinks I should attend one of these. Who here has? Thoughts, comments, concerns? Does anybody else say things that sound more stand-off ish or inconsiderate than they meant...

    Are friends or family members disbelieving about your ASD?

    Do you have a "formula" for people?

    I agree. I did write a formula I was working on. I thought it was going wrong but I think there is in fact a way of NT communication that could be read as a formula. Not a very simple one. If I find it I'll put it up

    Does anyone walk on their toes, or been told a lot that they walk differently or funny?

    I used to walk on my toes like I had hooves instead of feet probably so I could see higher. It was also a habit of my uncle even though he's not autistic at all, and already too tall. It was done unconsciously however and we'd both get in trouble for it. That was 12 years ago. I control it more...
