[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 37895, member: 3419"] [i]Aspies can be very social. The key is are they appropriately social? Do they know how to interact? Dot hey "get" unwritten social rules? Do they antagonize everyone or do they understand the unspoken social rules such as "we take turns talking" "we stay on topic" "we don't make silly noises and interrupt" "we don't bump into somebody while he's talking" "we listen to what the other person says and don't just talk about OUR special interest" etc. Many especially Aspies try hard to socialize, but they don't know how to do it. [/i] That's actually one of the best explanations I've seen. My difficult child can control himself quite well on Adderal and even when not on it, understands and apologizes (quite often on his own) but says he can't help it... an ADHD indicator. He only antagonizes me. [img]:frown:[/img] The teachers say he's hyper and does the pencil tapping, foot tapping thing, speaks out of turn, etc. but the speaking out of turn is actually on topic. He "gets" unwritten social rules in public and in other people's homes for the most part and acts out at home. Sometimes he comes home from an event and blows up the min. he comes in the door, like he's had it with-trying to control himself... sort of like when I've been running all day and people have been obnoxious and I have PMS, and I come in the door and throw myself on the bed and cry. People feel sorry for me because tears are appropriate but not for him because anger and violence scare people. [/QUOTE]
