Useful Strategies

I was thinking - people often talk about useful strategies and coping strategies. I know that I have developed strategies to best cope with Asperger's Syndrome. The problem is actually identifying these strategies. Some I can think of:

  • I wear ear defenders to reduce intrusive noise.
  • I try to plan things well to lessen the stress of a situation.
  • I try to be aware that I may not be communicating well - and tell the person.
  • I try to facilitate written communication over verbal.

Does anyone have any useful strategies that they would like to share? I know its pretty broad in scope and the strategies may be quite specific to the person but they may still be of use to others (including me Smile).

    I also avoid verbal communication whenever possible. When it comes to the telephone - I always let it go to the answer-phone first.  Then can decide if I want to speak to the person. It doesn't lessen the stress though when the thing rings.

    I can relate to that. I don't answer the phone either. If I get left a message then I decide how (or if) to respond. It still makes me panic though when the phone rings.
