Made myself look stupid today

Haythml said:

After hours of preparation, checking out the venue and then locality, preparing for every technical hitch possible, surveying the local area on Google Maps, carrying all documents in every possible format and being accompanied by some I trust I got ready to give a presentation.

Just at the end someone asked me "how do you feel about being the Chair?"

"Dont be stupid, I'm a human being, I only have two legs" I replied

And then the discussion started.

He meant Chairman of course, he had just shortened the word, and I made myself look an absolute fool.

That's Aspergers.

it's fine, it doesn't matter, you have aspergers, its expected

do they know about your autism ? if not its probably better to tell them if its something you are going to worry about so they understand what happened/happens, if you dont want to tell them, theres not much else you can do just go 'doh' *hand slap face and move on * 

i will just tell you we nts also make fools of ourselves at those times as well,so you havent done anything that odd here
