Definitely sounds familliar. Everyone is always telling me I text and email too much when a simple phone call or face to face conversation would suffice. I have a friend who hates that I text them too much, and we're constantly battling over me changing my texting habits. Hahahahaha! Definitely sounds familliar.

Being preoccupied with facts, this means no one can twist our words or insist that we said something different than exactly what was said.

If you are very distracted and/or nervous when speaking to someone, you are not able to say what you need to say and listen to what the other person says. It's much easier to take the time to write it in an email or a text and "converse" that way (taking as much time as needed to read and understand the other person's response). The downside is that there is a tendency to be too blunt or argumentative in email than one would be face-to-face. This is a problem for NTs as well, but is especially tricky for those with Asperger Syndrome who tend to already be quite blunt.

I'm a teenage girl diagnosed with low funtioning aspergers. I got rid of my cell phone, (Nobody to call) so I don;t even know how to text. And I only post comments or IM about ten times a month. Maybe I'm TOO ASPIE!? NOOOO! This is so wrong for me. I’m a teenage girl diagnosed with low funtioning aspergers. I got rid of my cell phone, (Nobody to call) so I don;t even know how to text.

It's such much more convenient that face to face. Plus I have a hard time trying to figure out what to say during face to face convos plus those troublesome double entendres have to be dealt with. Way too confusing! Long live text and email! Oh, I also love those "20 questions" surveys where you list little details and tidbits about yourself to your friends and others in your blogs, emails, and social networking sites. My one good friend says that every time she sends out those surveys to her friends to complete, she knows that I'll be the first one to respond back. Is that an Aspie phenomenon too?
