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

  • I do practice conversations, but I'm not sure how it goes.  It's useful to have a script for basic things, but complex conversations invariably go down an unexpected path no matter how I prepare.

    As for other things I do that are from autism... too many to name.  I was only diagnosed last year at the age of thirty-seven, so I spent many years just thinking I was generally weird and dysfunctional.
