How do you interact with others/God?

[GordyJ7]

I do deal with Asperger's, and ironically I am majoring in Communication Studies! lol This could help me a little, better understand communication. For a communications class, I need to ask a question and apply it to a theory of communication.

So. I am here to ask you all a couple questions, maybe share your experiences. My questions are:

How do you, with Asperger's interact with others?
How do you with Asperger's interact with God?

That's all! Thank you so much for your openness and I will use this information, but not names.

These questions are not easy to answer, because there is so much you can say about it.

Your first question: 'How do you, with Aspergers's interact with others?'
I try to do my best to interact properly with others.
But my communication is nog always as good as it should be.
I sometimes can hardly anwer a question, because of the complicity.
I often have to deal with a certain fear, if i am amongst people.

Your second question: 'How do you with Asperger's interact with God?'
The good thing about interaction with God, is that He knows whats inside of you.
If I can't find the right words it is not as bad as it is when I am interaction with people. I can pray without words and just be with Him. And He can speak to me on a way that I can understand. He can touch my heart directly.

I took many courses in college that I thought would help me get along in the world: Pragmatics, Psych, Hearing and Speech, etc. I got a degree in Linguistics.

I analyze people's speech habits while I listen to them, if I can listen at all. I have to keep interactions cerebral if the conversation goes any length of time. I have developed a set of "hit and run" techniques when I'm in an uncomfortable situation. I have Joe Friday's Syndrome: "Just the facts, Ma'am."

My relationship with God is largely cerebral as well. I seek logic, reason, consistency in His word. I love God with my whole heart, soul, strength, and mind. It's just that my heart and soul don't have a big role in my life because of my Aspieness.

How can you tell an extraverted Aspie from an introverted one?
The extravert stare at your shoes while you're talking to him.

How do I enteract with people ... I talk, I laugh, I smile ...

I say the wrong things, I don't have a reply till I think about it, I hear the wrong meanings.

I say the right thing, I tell a good story, I impress people with how much I know.

I give too many facts and bore people. I keep talking with people have already heard more of what I have to say than they want to hear. I stand and just listen to others talk .. often about nothing important.

I think that they think that I think that they .... and I just get exhausted
