Practicing conversations

Jess_Lomas

Does anyone else practice conversations before they take place. 

Also comment other things you do/did that were due to your autism but you didn't know it at the time

  • Yes. Not all of the time, but a lot of the time. These practiced conversations aren't said out loud but in my mind.

    I also find myself playing back certain conversations that have taken place (overanalysing), and questionning if I have been correct in my interpretation of things that have been said to me. I can have a tendency to take things literally when they weren't intended to be taken literally, and also to not take things literally when they should have been. Hope all that makes sense?
