[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if I'm socially awkward because of the weird parents I grew up with or because of being undiagnosed with autism, but I have been so grateful to the people who've moved through my life and told me things I needed to know in a very direct, straight-forward way. "Don't start a conversation with someone with the phrase you know what your problem is." "Stop saying 'you should ...' to people." "When you reach out to invite someone to something instead of saying "what are you doing this weekend?" instead say "I was thinking we could go to X Sunday morning - want to come?" "Don't open the window or change the thermostat in someone else's home, just ask if they can make it cooler." [/quote]
