Talking on the phone

Hotel california

Hi

Just wondered if anyone on this forum has issues talking on the phone.  My 14 year old hates speaking to his relatives on the phone.  When he does it usually consists of Yes and No answers to questions his relatives put to him.   Needless to say that the conversations grind to a halt very quickly.  

Look forward to hearing your experience with small-talk.

  • Hi I have Aspergers and don't find it easy to answer the phone - never have but have had to get over it as I am a Registered Childminder and it could be work - my daughter is the same (she is awaiting an assessment for Aspergers) but she is registered too so she has to answer now - I love txt and e mails but my sister gets upset if I dont phone (she is Aspergers too but is opposite to me with regards telephones) so have also had to have phone conversations with her but I let her know when I have had enough - when I have to phone people I have a list and try to do them in one day and it exhausts me
