Name: Joaquin

Comments: I am high functioning autistic and although I look and act normal I have a hard time understanding people. I was told that I should always try to interact with people to boost my social awareness but I think I intrude in other people's space. Example, I attend a class for crafts but I find I sit by myself most times and I do not like art anyways. Should I just leave? I rather be home on my computer, I am happy this way.

I know Aspies have a very hard time socializing and they rather be by themselves however this world is all about how we interact with other and socializing is a very important tool for most things. Did you think about joining a local adult Aspergers group? Maybe they have tips they can help you along.
