 Not thinking like an NT, I don't get most of the questions on forms. Let alone getting neat enough to fit all the writing in. So when the bank sent me a form I filled it in scrawly-writing as I write everything, took it to the bank and decided not to explain Aspergers (let alone unofficially selfdiagnosed). I just said I had a neurological condition which means I'm not very good with forms. The assistant was very helpful and task done. Yippppeeeeeee!!!!!!!
So proud of myself LOLOLOL! |

Congrats! I know some of these forms are so convoluted looking it is hard to know where to begin!
Generally the bank workers are quite helpful, as it is good for business!

Good for you!
I must be odd... I love filling out forms. Not the ones where they ask you questions and leave a blank space where you make up an answer... but things like "Name, Address, Date of Birth" - maybe I just like the neat, incontrovertible rules.

Whenever I do bank/tax/job/doctor related things, my mom always helps fill things out  Even if it's something I should know the answer to, I'll just stare at it for a while and think.
It doesn't help when they spell things wrong and forget punctuation. |

I hate forms, some of them are just to convoluted and confusing to complete

Congratulations on being self assertive...beats being passive aggressive or aggressive. Anyone that isn't comfortable mentioning AS, (since few people actually understand it) can just say it is a "neurological condition"...I think big words can make people a bit more compliant, and it is not lieing.

| If I had been the girl at the bank, I would have stuck my foot in my mouth and asked "Which neurological condition do you have?" because I have to know everything and it bothers me when I feel that something is being kept from me. Also, I like to study conditions, evaluate them and tuck them away for future reference. |

I am used to forms. I may have got confused in the beginning but I pretty much digest it since my reading comprehesion skill is vey high. |

I'm with Jeyradan on this one. If it's open ended questions I'm horrible, but the questions that you don't have to make up something for are great and I could do them for hours. |

| Oh I love forms and surveys and anything like that. I especially like it if there are boxes for each letter, so efficient. |

I always ask for help when I fill them out. I'm not afraid to ask what a question means.
