In the last few months, I've met a few other aspies. We've got well. No small task to deal with, instead having nice logical chats !

Look at all the graphs of the different aspie brains...all different. I think that genetics and environment are the major contributors to the similarities with your brother and yourself. You guys will work it out and later appreciate your unique relationship. If you guys put your heads together, it could be amazing.Hi i was just wondering about everyone elses thought on wether Aspies get on well with other Aspies. Two aspies are definetly more understanding to one another but i find the conversation to be even more annoying, like for instance i have a brother who claims he has Aspergers like me, it does make some sence to me but he is also known as a major bullshitter so i dont know, but back to the point, when he and i are talking i find that we both as aspies have things that we really want to talk about and i find that when he talks instead of listening i tend to just wait for a time to get a word in about what i wanna say and he seems to be doing exactly the same so the end result is that we are talking to each other but we arent talking about the same conversation, must look pretty weired to others LOL.
And think of this me as an Aspie i find myself to be the reserved and quiet one, the one who only really makes an effort to talk when people have left the room leaving say me and people i know very well. So imagine two people meet who are like this, are they gna "hit it off" straight away because there brains work the same?
III think that some typical aspie behaviour may well irritate me, if, for example, I have a rigid opinion about something and another aspie who I'm talking to has an different and opposing rigid opinion to me, then we'll just irritate each other.
Are I and II really defining the same problem?Or if an aspie has a special interest that I don't like or am not interested in and keeps talking about it, or if they keep repeating themselves, talk a lot and tire me, then I'll be overwhelmed and want to avoid that person.
They are different aspects of the same problem.I
II
Are I and II really defining the same problem?
What if you are not into it and also don't think they should be talking about that topic, or don't want anyone else to discuss it with that person, for some reason?if an aspie has a special interest that I don't like or am not interested in and keeps talking about it, or if they keep repeating themselves, talk a lot and tire me, then I'll be overwhelmed and want to avoid that person.
Same. I'll tell the person that I don't want to talk about that subject.What if you are not into it and also don't think they should be talking about that topic, or don't want anyone else to discuss it with that person, for some reason?
Unless it is something personal about me, what they talk about with other people is their business.or don't want anyone else to discuss it with that person, for some reason?
Too many abstract/hypothetical questions at once for me to answer.@Progster What if the person talking on and on about it is speaking with authority on it but has poor grasp? What if they aren't qualified to discuss it?
What if it is something personal about a friend or relative of yours?
Why only tell them you don't want to talk about that subject, not that you don't want that other person talking about it?
