Nice. I really appreciate your responses.

I feel as if the group of people that I surround myself with now are people that are willing to give feedback and are supportive.

Do you think the supportiveness of your group of friends (whom you mention in the response to be another's question) has changed simply by growing up and maturing, or because you now endeavour to mostlysurround yourself with a different type of person?

Hello, thank you for doing this AMA. Reading your responses to questions has made me feel that I perhaps am also asperger's.

Your stories of growing up and learning how to interact are so close to my own experiences, it is quite surprising.

Obviously I haven't been diagnosed, would you suggest this is an important step in your ability to socialise? Knowing exactly why it was/is more difficult?

(I'm mid 30's)

Thanks. I will watch your video. On mobile right now and it's not ideal.

I have been making conscious choices about how I should interact with people since I realised I was a little behind the 8 ball socially. E.g. When I was 19 I wrote myself a mantra and stuck it to the inside of my door. It was a reminder to speak less and think more in conversation.

Is his the way that you have approached the acquisition of your social skills? By identifying moments where you struggle and adjusting your behaviour? Giving yourself rules for situations?
