Thanks Carl. I also have ASD or autism spectrum disorder. I barely have it but it makes me stand out from my peers a little beause I am not sure good at conversations in school and I have trouble reading s me non-verbal cues. However, once I've learned from an experience, I never forget but I seem to have to learn with each new one which isn't good because there is such variance with conversations and nothing particularly to say or do at any certian point in a conversation and nothing can be written in stone. Hi's and bye's can be an exception I guess but your tone of voice, your gestures, realitive location to the other person, and what the other person is thinkng or doing as well as what is going on around and the time affects their response. For example, say a person was very friendly to me but was in the middle of talking to somone or was having a rough day. The response could come off as totally unfriendly if one of these things were happening. If the person was talking to another of their friends and I accidently interrupted, saying hi, they may either ignore me, not hear me, or if I'm lucky respond. And if a close friend was having a bad day, most likely if we were heading seperate directions in the hall, all I'd get is a minor wave or anything basically based on what is going on at a particulat moment. It's much easier on the forums, I don't know why. lol Maybe it's due to lack of multiple things going on at once. Sorry if I was too elaborate or got anyone confused with my response....
