[quote=Anonymous]OP I have a child on the spectrum who is very socially interested. She loves getting to know people. One thing she had to be explicitly taught is how to ask questions and read cues. She was interviewing everyone because she learned it's important to show interest with questions and she was interested! It drove other kids nuts. Luckily, kids are more blunt than adults and some told her to stop asking so many questions. That feedback was useful to her. Once my daughter learned to calm it down, read the cues and adjust her responses accordingly she could connect more. OP it's great you are interested in people and want to make friends, but you sound overwhelming. Also, there is a good chance your facial expressions are expressing judgment when the person doesn't have a resume list of hobbies for you or *gasp* isn't working in a capacity you see fit.[/quote]
