Oh - alright - I'll post what I was going to post but didn't want to go on about (people - you can skip if you wish).

Before I was diagnosed, people I know thought I always ignored them or at least that I was a little slow, sometimes, in acknowledging what they'd said and responding.

Now though, I can see, now aware that there's something I'm possibly missing (even though I'm not aware of exactly what that is) that actually it's other people ("everyone else" around me in RL) ignoring me. They certainly don't do it deliberately and are I think they're totally unaware that they are being perceived as doing it and it's actually also not their fault that they are doing it. I'm giving them no body language signals that I am there, nor is it my fault in not doing that as I am totally unable to do so and do not have any 'body language' transmitter, and they are not receiving any signals (that I'm unable in any event to transmit).

In fact, I feel my perception is much better than 'everyone else's' (that is everyone except the few who have Asperger's/autism). As ever, the impression is the totally contrary of what the reality actually is. E.g. no eye contact, suggests you are shifty. In fact, I'm extremely honest and truthful and my lack of eye contact is simply because my condition predisposes me to look more at a person's mouth than their face, looking into someone's eyes can be like looking into headlights. Yet people make assumptions.

And I will dedicate this one to people less fortunate than ourselves. We never know what is around the corner, so consider that.

Just like to say, I learn so much from you Savvy. I think you find the format of a forum very easy to open up, and I like it, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. It helps more people than just the few of us here.

Whereas other people will be engrossed in whoever they are talking to, and the body language of every non-autistic person around them, if you speak to me, I may not respond immediately but I hear everything that you, and nearly everyone else around me, is saying. It's simply that diverting my attention from whatever I'm doing and onto you involves a complete shift in my brain, to drop concentration entirely on what I'm doing and to focus it entirely on what you are saying, then to drop entirely my concentration on you and back again. It's like picking up a whole cabinet and dropping in two yards away. Then picking the whole of it up, in one go, again and putting it back.

I've read that the autistic person's brain activity in certain areas does not light up. When other humans are around other humans, their brains light up towards each other. Mine doesn't (if I have autism, assuming my diagnosis to have been correct and it most probably is). Apparently, my brain lights up to objects. That however, in my view, doesn't mean that I do not light up to people or that I have no interest in people. On the contrary - I'm just as interested in people as I am in objects and therefore interested in everything and in both, rather than just being interested in people and missing everything else around me.
