Useful Strategies

Jon

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 wish someone would come up with a strategy for eye contact. I had somehow worked around to looking at people's mouths, which I did for years. At least it conveyed the impression that I was looking at people, and I did get some facial expression information from it.

    Since trying to improve however, I've ended up with rather less effective, more noticeable poor eye contact, and I'm very self conscious its not working.

    ... hi Longman, what do you think the actual problem is? Are you saying you want to appear to be looking at someones eyes but find that hard? If so, why?
