    I’ve found I’m quite good at socializing despite being on the spectrum. It was not a natural thing and was quite studied.

    Writing that helped immensely with understanding body language and social cues was actually a bit of a con artists book: How to make people like you in 30 seconds.

    It gave great insight into what I had a hard time understanding on my own: the social fabric explained.

    As someone who constantly learns and tries to apply that knowledge, having all the social cues laid out in a way to practice on just about anyone was very eye opening and freeing.
