>I’ll just put this one last thing out there.
>I have Aspergers and am a high functioning autistic, But… I’ve taught-no-trained myself how to read Social cues/interactions body-language and understand other peoples emotions.
>This is signicant as most Aspie’s have a condition called ‘Alexithymia’ which makes interpreting the emotinal states of others difficult, near to impossible, even ailen and other. It’s what causes most nerotypicals to think spectrum people lack emotions or don’t feel. We do feel, we feel so strongly it hurts. We just have to engage in extra steps, sometimes actively putting ourselves in the shoes of others just to get it.
>Unfortunately, because of the way most of the world treats us, most Auspie’s don’t see the point with trying to understand others or even have a desire to.
>I went the other way. I didn’t just want to understand I wanted to influence.
>While I did and often still do regard the vast majority of humanity with distain, individuals have always fascinated me!
>What was this language that all the normal people around me seemed to instinctively understand and be fluent in, that I just couldn’t?
>-And so I trained myself in it, Every unconscious movement, every vocal inflection and tone, every example of body language I could find online, every visible micro expression…
>-I trained myself to understand EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
>Now because of this training, I am the most terrifying Aspie you will ever get to know, because I can use this skill and understanding of emotion to make a room full of people dance to my tune. I’m the Worm defintion of a Social Thinker.
>I have walked into a room at work, where people were screaming at one another seconds away from clawing one another's throats out, and within a minute I could have everyone in the room calm, orderly and sorted. Egos smoothed and tempers soothed.
>Now why am telling you all this?
