Hello everybody.
I haven't posted in about a year, at the time I was deciding if I should get a diagnosis which I chose not to get. I am currently a uni student in Nottingham and it seems that it is very obvious I am on the spectrum, people either seem to spot it immediately or think I am weird.
I really need to improve my ability to interact with people. I struggle a lot in social situations and find people often act and respond to things in very confusing and irrational ways. I have searched for a guide to understand neurotypical people better. Things like body language, social interaction, how to respond in situations and understand them in general. However my searches have only resulted in finding a few guides explaining Autism for normal people but not the other way around.
Can anybody help me out?Thank you
I have loads of ebooks, I can email them out.

Temple Grandin's The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships looks interesting there, although a lot of her experience may not be generally applicable. That's what you get for being a diverse group.
The Autistic Survival Guide is a different perspective:https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Autistic_Survival_Guide
This is more a joke than any help understanding typicals:http://www.fysh.org/~zefram/allism/allism_intro.txt
Field Guide To Earthlings looks interesting, but it might be stuff we've already intellectually found out, but find it hard to act on. To paraphrase: Autistics are from Earth, NTs are from Earth, get over it.
this site has lots of free (but not necessarily legal) pdfs to download. I've found Tony Attowod, Luke Jackson on there. Lots are "clinical" type of research papers etc. Search for Autism, Asperger etc
