[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really struggled with understanding social cues -- didn't detect sarcasm, couldn't tell when a question was rhetorical. in some ways being alone was easier. watching these unscripted conversations 'in the wild' and trying to participate during lunch was really hard. Like speaking a foreign language hard. I too eventually found my people -- fellow nerds and academics who cut you a little slack when you answer the rhetorical question or whatever. The rare times I did sit with others I was extremely exhausted afterwards.[/quote] How are you now as an adult? Do you have friends? My kid is like you - cannot detect if someone is being sarcastic or not and keeps quiet rather than being in unscripted conversations with anyone new. She seems fine with kids she knows well but they do the talking and she listens. She is always afraid of saying the wrong thing and being laughed at - it has happened before.[/quote]
