Autism

Silverback has asked how autism affects me.

This - read the post "A Serious Discussion", currently the third post down - is how autism affects me.

That kind of thing happens to me pretty much continuously.

IF I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU, IT'S NOT BECAUSE "I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU", UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING TRULY HORRIBLE. IT'S BECAUSE MY COMMUNICATION RESOURCES HAVE BEEN EXPENDED.

(In a nutshell, however - I'm both extremely intelligent and extremely retarded. I average out to an average person in some aspects - for example, my uni grades).

I have had to explain this to my sister so many times. It is not difficult to understand, but she just doesn't seem to get it. Sigh.
