I love both, but the constant contact wears me out. I find solace either completely alone in the woods or alone in a crowd. Have to have it to recharge.<br /><br />People don't realize that many performers, artists, teachers are introverts.<br /><br />Jim Cornelius<br />www.frontierpartisans.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-88003645922245866342014-04-19T05:39:13.659-07:002014-04-19T05:39:13.659-07:00This is the one we got for our son-- and there see...This is the one we got for our son-- and there seem to be some other good recommendations on the page:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Freaks-Geeks-Asperger-Syndrome-Adolescence/dp/1843100983/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397910974&sr=1-1&keywords=geeks+freaks<br /><br />I also liked Desmond Morris' Manwatching.<br /><br />I have a pretty firm belief that, with dedication and intelligence, Asperger's/INTJs/whatever can consciously become better at reading and manipulating this stuff than "normal" people.Roryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483616030072739190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-71556646443466831912014-04-19T05:24:02.706-07:002014-04-19T05:24:02.706-07:00Can you recommend a book about learning social nor...Can you recommend a book about learning social norms. I have read Conflict communication and Talking Them Through....which by the way can be used at most meetings where people are stresses out and not thinking clearly. But I need a little more help please. I just don't get the social ques. It is so bad I asked some one if they thought I had Asbergers. They paused for a really long time and said no because I get humor. Not having these skills is pretty painful and worse yet inefficient. I N T J females have a hard time being perceived as anything but blood thirsty so I am looking for some way to learn enough skills to blend more. Thank you in advance.

Ge..."It means I find them exhausting." <br /><br />Getting people to understand this, the definition of introversion, has been one of the big struggles of my life.
