I guess I didn't realize Aspie's don't want to be social? They seemed to want to be social with me, but maybe more so than with other kids now that I think about it. Some of them weren't even my students, but would come talk to me before and after school.
Oh, yeah. Hyperlexia. The back and forth of conversation is something we practiced a lot at home.
I remember watching my son in the back yard explaining to the neighbor about dark matter. Eventually, she just turned to leave, and he just went around until he was facing her again and kept talking. We would go out to eat, and when our food came, he would start explaining the digestive system to the waitress, right down to the bacteria in the gut. It was cute when he was four.
Not the urgency to talk part for sure for me.
Grade and high school were just mostly trauma for me. Shy to the extreme. Trouble focusing, daydreaming. Did not fit in anywhere. Read virtually every book in the library. Hated school. Tech school was ok, not all the peer pressure and such and a subject of my choice, electronics.
I've been reading your thread. I'm not an Aspie, but rather a former teacher. I had quite a few students over the years I suspected had it. I guess I didn't realize Aspie's don't want to be social?

Ohh started with all the Scifi, then nature stuff, 1984, technical sciences, never understood poetry though... I actually read about 3/4 of all the books there. Knew the librarian well. And at the library in town as well.I'm sorry it was awful. I'd ask you what you liked to read about in school, but since you read everything, maybe that already answers the question.
yes and still pretty much that way as an adult.Other kids don't relate to you, nor you to them?
