That's for sharing that information and I'm sorry for the difficulties you have to face. Is there any kind of cognitive therapy that might help with communication skills?
I met a guy with Aspergers recently who was a very nice person but when he started talking about something he wouldn't stop and was unable to tell that I was starting to lose interest in what he was saying. Now I will admit that my part in this was that I did not assert myself in stating that I had to leave because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Also he had a tendency to stretch out what he was saying. Overall it wasn't a bad experience but it was awkward for me.
I've been to cognitive therapy and while my social skills have improved quite a bit over the years, therapy isn't very helpful nor are there much services for adults with autistic spectrum disorders. Most of what I've learned over the years is just from having to deal with people in real life.
Is it normal nobody listens to me?
