[QUOTE="NovaShy, post: 8655191, member: 7036472"] Old thread but I don't care. Just wanted to comment on the fact everyone seems to think people like us can just, Roleplay Asbergers. I have it, but I wouldn't know the first thing on how to roleplay it. It's one thing to live it and another to try and act it. Thats why Actors on tv Usually go to school, on how to Act even though they know how to be happy and sad. As for how to roleplay Asbergers, it's a bit different for everyone. I myself have a hard time reading emotions, or I misinterpret things and take things offensively. Social skills are a little wonky, but I'm not rude and people tend to have fun around me. That being said, I get easily socially drained Very fast. So perhaps, your character goes to a party and they're good for an hour.
