| The thing is just anything can be used to say talk about just about anything, and there are these common themes... And yet you choose a tragedy to ask Aspies to talk to you about who knows what.

It is not productive to dwell on it. |

| Sometimes it's not you at all and it's the other person. You can use a social skill other people use and you may happen to do it to the wrong group of people and they don't like it and that can be asking them questions about themselves. I think we sometimes take things too personal thinking we did ... |

"He is a software developer, you know how they are". |

Most Aspies I know would give up fingers for a chance to be the President of an established club.
You are golden no matter what you do, and they did not push you out the door yet. |
