This morning, I was talking with my boss. I'd just had 2 days of sick with a splitting migraine. As I was telling him about it, I became acutely aware of 2 of my Aspergian traits that work well together at working against me. They are:
1) difficulty in making eye contact;
2) why use 10 words to explain something when you can use 40 or 50;
Both of these work together to make it look like I'm lying and the more you become aware of it, the worse it gets. In the end, I feel like I'm in quicksand just waiting for someone to throw me a rope - so I can hang myself.
Has anyone else experienced this?
