Hey,
I had my annual appraisal at work today and 1 of the things my boss wants me to do is 'improve my people skills'. I haven't told him that I am on a waiting list for an autism assessment, a bit premature I thought to go into the whole world of trying to tell him that I identify with having Asperger's, so I just agreed it wasn't really my strong suit .
It did get me wondering though, are there any courses or literature out there to help people with Asperger's at least to pretend to be better at such things? . A quick google has showed lots of stuff about NTs managing people with autism, but I want the other way round!
I know any such training and implementation will probably just add to my stress by having to fake it even more than I do now, but I can't really just ignore my boss's request.
Cheers!
