a short while ago I went to a social gathering where an autism expert was, this person has done famous talks and written books on AS availiable at amazon.com, yet they would not deign to speak to me. Wouldn't mind but I was the only person that they did not talk to and was intrested in everyone else, aksing them questions etc. Even though they tlak about nothing but autism and i have worked with autistic people in the past, they are not intrested and I am the only person they would never initiate contact with. feel a bit upset and I don't know where it leaves me, I think I have tourettes and social phobia (maybe OCD aswell), but not AS. I'm not loud and social enough to have AS.
I could be interpolating a tad, but I have often missed a chance to talk to a celebrity by not being pushy, demanding, forceful enough or willing to beat back those who were. There have even been times when i missed out, that I thought I had been forceful and, upon reflection, it seemed as if I really wasn't in the same league as the ones who "got the ball".
Put a big impressive camera in my hands, though, and I can out-arse most of them. A camera is like my "Shields up. Full impulse power" command and I will have predominance over mortals. That's just me. Everyone needs to find their own "Shields".
You can't always get what you want by fishing with bait. You sometimes must use a spear.
You seem to be lost in your own thoughts.
