Now I'm getting older I realise sometimes where I've gone wrong with interactions. Not always but sometimes. Would you say this is an autism thing to do? (Still undiagnosed and working out why I dont fit in)
So this is how my brain works.....I'm in the Fuchsia bush looking at giant caterpillars (I know so cool ). Spot a neighbour, forget I'm hanging out in the bush say 'hi how you doing ' hes chatting about exciting news as he and his wife have just had a baby.then I think oh he will wonder why I'm hiding in a bush
so explain myself and hold up a giant catterpilar mid conversation then chat about caterpillars!
it's only after when i replay conversations over in my mind I sometimes realise what a socially awkward person I am
