Something personal..
I have this inability to mingle socially and have meaningful #conversations face to face. AND some terrible #obsession with certain things (which infact has been beneficial for me 😬 ). However, this also gave terrible experiences during my childhood. I always thought it was part of my personality or upbringing until recently when I saw similar characteristics being attributed to #aspergers syndrome !
Any one with similar issues ? How have u tackled difficult situations ?
@harikesh It's an interesting question where to draw the line between personality traits and a diagnosable syndrome.
I found Tony Attwood's book, Asperger's Syndrome - A Guide for Parents and Professionals, enlightening. I would recommend it; maybe you might recommend something of yourself in the descriptions and anecdotes in thebook.
