#socialisingforanautistic
Socialising is so tiring And draining. The interchange a merry waltz of delight But not for all The hieroglyphical rules Bewildering for some And so I ask the following With the hope for an answer From the initiated The ones with the elixir of life What will they want to talk about this time? Do I start the conversation? Should I say I am ok? Do I ask if they are too? What do I talk about after? Will they like what I say? At what point do I talk? Have I just interrupted them? What did they think of my point of view? Should I have sat here? Did they want me to? Why aren’t they speaking to me? Can I speak now? Is it that funny? When is a reasonable time to leave? What happens if I don’t laugh? Why aren’t they letting me speak? Can I just go home? Please I Am Drained.
