Any aspie consultants? How do you navigate all the complex social interactions?

I know my specialty really well and am objectively amazing but just get so overwhelmed over the dumbest things. I just don’t even know how to be human

Not aspie but social anxiety. I observe others and recall their actions when I’m faced in a similar situation.

Can you provide some insight in your experience? Is it missing social cues that would be “natural” to others? How should a colleague accommodate for this, ie being more proactive on certain interactions? Thanks :)

I’m typically gregarious and great with people, but covid made me forget how to interact with people. Feeling similar on the “i don’t even know how to be human” front currently. Having big time social anxiety with every in person interaction.

I think for me I’m just realizing I’m gonna say/so weird things and i just have to accept it. I’m still a valuable person and negative opinions over small things shouldn’t negate that. Hope you can find some space too, to let the small things slide by and realize people probably don’t care as much as it might seem like they do

What are the different ways you've seen orgs structure the role? Under Creative? Lateral to creative? Something else? Which way is best?

I’m in pretty good shape but I haven’t been able to fence for two years because of work. Pretty specific muscles needed. I fenced hard tonight, mostly against teenagers. No, I am not in good shape, especially aerobically. Time for rowing machine and jump rope on the days I’m not fencing (2-3 per week). It will take a couple of months. I’m going to hurt tomorrow. Ugh.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.
