Today I wanna talk about some of the important behavoirs of Asperger’s that normal people might miss understand.

The missing eye contact

The first one I wanna talk about is the missing eye contact. I hate to look in peoples eyes because it feels very ucomfy for me which sometimes make people believe that I am not listening to them or ignorring them. Some people says we do it to hear and focus better but have not though of that I just personaly do not like it.

The direct speech

The second one is that we speak very directly and sometimes people gets hurt by it since I often do not see the point of trying to say it in a gentle way as I do not like to be unclear. I never plan to hurt people with my words as I have experinces enough pain in terms of bullies to continue doing that.

The honesty

The second and half one is the honesty. I feel this is connected to the second one because since we often say things direct then the words are often honest as well.

The repeating behavoir

The 3rd one, we are often repeating certain movements which can be everything from making wierd noises to do something with our fingers or feet. I used to repeat every sentenses twice to make sure that the person understood what I was trying to say and sometimes I am thinking that my skin and former nail biting is maybe part of it since I am having a real hard time to stop.

The ‘missing’ empati

The 4th one, we are often blame for not having any empati about what is going one but I often feel so hurt I do not know what to do with the feeling since we do not want to make it worse for the person experince it. I even had a period of my life were if I watched an guy get shot or hurt in a movie I could feel the pain in the same area.

The alone time

The 5th one, we are often believed to be introverted but as I did some reason for the post I found out that many of the things that makes me feel introvered is not introverted it is just because I have so many problems with social interactions that I lose the energy for it so quickly that sometimes I just have do not have enough for an entire day. So sometimes I perfer alone time to recharge my energy or things would be too much for me.
