Is it normal for people with Aspergers Syndrome to do the following?

  • Talk over top of people when they are speaking on the phone or to someone else in the same room?
  • actively listen to conversations that aren't involving you?
  • have poor social skills when interacting with people?
  • keep talking when people tell you to be quiet?
  • actively listen at certain key words that are mentioned during a conversation for seemingly no reason?

I keep getting told that I should do a course in social skills, but I don't know if this is the right way to go about things

  • Oh yes, 86260, I am talented in all those 'arts'.

    My personal speciality is in not picking up when someone is trying to end a conversation with me, I just miss all their signals, verbal and otherwise, and carry on talking whilst wishing I knew how to end the dialogue. 

    Eventually, of course, they resort to the kind of rudeness that only the normies can.

    It's all very perplexing.

    Ben.

    that also seems to be my speciality, however I've learnt a few new tricks recently too which is kind of disturbing to me, such as somehow being able to talk telepathically or seeing some prophetic dreams in my sleep
