Doesn't sound like an Aspie to me. I'll admit that if you ask me, I'll tell you all about my day, week, month, year. Don't ask me how I'm feeling -- I'll tell you in great detail if I have the chance. Believe it or not, I do it because I'm being polite. If you didn't want to know, you wouldn't ask. The big problem is I don't know how to stop unless you tell me to (and I won't be offended if you say that's enough of that subject). I won't get you trying to change the subject. Subtlety really doesn't work.

At the same time, I won't ask you how you are because I figure if you want to tell me, you will. It's not that I don't care, it's that (1) I just don't think to ask and (2) I don't want to invade your privacy.

Your friend doesn't sound like she has these type of issues to me. She sounds like the world revolves around her and no one else truly matters. Aspies are guilty of thinking the world revolves around them but we just don't take offense when you remind us there are other people in the world.

So, why do you do anything with this woman? She doesn't sound like a friend. She doesn't sound like she's a lot of fun to be around. She doesn't sound like someone most of us would want to know. Think I'd just walk away and let her talk to air.
