Aspiecast Episode 3: Sarcasm as a Verbal Crutch

In this episode of the AspieCast, I mention how I subconsciously ended up relying on my ability to come up with sarcastic statements as a means to avoid the intense helplessness I felt whenever I didn't know what to say or how to react in certain situations that involved other people.  Anytime that I couldn't find a reason to escape the situation physically, sarcasm was the only thing that seemed easy to do whenever I felt that I was supposed to engage.

 

If you are also an Aspie and have similar experiences or other methods you used to get around the feeling of not knowing what the right way to engage in a conversation is, please do send your feedback to [e-mail].  Also, even if you aren't an aspie but someone you know or care about has asperger syndrome, please don't hesitate to chime in as well.

Thanks!
