Can An Autistic Man Be Very Social?

Post Reply New Topic

The majority of people with Aspergers/Autism find social interactions very frustrating because of the inability to read non-verbal cues and tone of voice that are critical for social interactions.
It is hard to learn non-verbal cues, judge situations, pick up on subtle changes in tone of voice that are critical
It is hard to pick up on other people's emotions/feelings because of the lack of empathy that comes with having Aspergers/Autism.
Dealing with endless social rejections and feeling like a failure make us Autistics more likely to withdraw socially and avoid social situations.
Social situations and all the stuff involved that never comes naturally to me and appearing to be a freak/weird to others is so humiliating.

Im social but in short bursts, maybe a few min or hours depending on stress levels, then need time alone.

I absolutly hate being constantly round people 24/7 like when i lived in a shared house at uni.

Sends stress levels through the roof.
