This is my first post, so I wonder if there is anyone to say hello to?
My name is Edgar, living in Sweden with ADHD and now Autism the doctor says. Really cool to be here and post a blog for the community saying hello and hopefully get an answer back. Since many people in the real world won´t get it, like a hello is a hello, it doesn´t has to lead to something else.
I actually walked by a really cute woman today and she looked at me for a long time, so I guessed she wanted to say hello. What happend? When I came close to her and said hi, she just looked at me like What are you doing? Then she walked away. Trust me I don´t say hi to people, but when I do, they ignore me.
So yeah I found this community like 1 hour after that incident and if I get ignored here I´ll just move to Mars.
That´s it, is there anyone to say hello to?
Now a question, should I write "Kind Regards" after this post?
Lol, it's not necessarily autism but also a difference in upbringing (where and how)
My mother, aunts and uncle, grew up in a small village, not really rolling in on money. She is not autistic and actually works as a psychologist. (Lol) Anyway, she told me once that when she moved to the city for her first job, she would say hello to anyone and everyone that cross her path because as she lived in a small town that is how and what she was raised to do and everyone would watch her weirdly. So it's just how you were brought up, maybe reply "just saying hi" and walking away (maybe)
Also I cannot stop myself, during that same time she tried a McDonald's burger for the first time and hasn't eaten one since. She was twenty-six.
