I decided that I needed a new book to read and managed to find one on my bookshelf that I’d only half read so thought I’d finish it off: Tower, An epic History of the Tower of London by Nigel Jones. I just wondered what everyone else is reading at the moment? What does everyone else like to read?
A collection of Charles Bukowski's letters.
I’ve never heard of these. What are the letters about?
He was a published writer. The letters are conversations with other writers about writing. His thoughts about his various interests such as his love life and gambling etc
That looks really interesting. Thankyou for sharing.
I think with socialising with NTs it's just the whole double empathy thing. We don't understand their social skills and they don't understand ours. I read this article the other week and it makes loads of sense.

I had one ASD person in my last social group too. The rest were NT's though. Having social skills is difficult and an Autistic will always make mistake no matter how hard he tries.
I tend to socialise with predominantly other autistic people since my diagnosis. Either new friends or old friends that have since been diagnosed/self diagnosed too. It tends to make for much less complicated social dynamics and they understand if I need to be quiet for a bit.
