But I still don't understand one thing, that you might explain to me.
How can you don't understand nonverbal comunication. I simply don't
get it. What you don't know what smile is, or how an angry mans face
looks like. Or am I interpretating it too literaly. Could anyone
explain me this thing in details. I personaly haven't noticed any
notices of this symptom in my behaviour. Sometimes I even think that
I'm more understanding than most people. I mean, I can simply look at
a human face and understand how is he feeling or maybe what he's
thinking. And that is the biggest problem. In Asperger's description
this problem is probably the most important. I do understand people,
they don't have to say things literaly for me to understand what they
want to say. And I'm even better at understanding what people don't
want to say, what maybe they want to hide. All those clues from voice
temper, body languadge really gives up everything and I don't
understand how on Earth it is possible not to understand them. Yes, I
don'r reply to them, maybe becouse I don't want to. I don't really
like people. I really don't. When I have to talk with people I dont
know what to say, I'm afraid I will say something really stupid (and i
often do) and people often misunderstand think that I said something I
didn't want to say. Thats why i like being alone. You don't have to
pretend, you can be yourself. I have bad social skils, but that
doesn't mean that I don't understand nonverbal comunication. I think I
better understand what people want to say, than they really say. But
thats just my opinion and I might be wrong.
Can anyone write what that description really means, and how in youre
case this disability is effecting your life.
