I bought "Social Thinking At Work: Why Should I Care?" by Michelle Garcia Winner & Pamela Crooke at an autism conference about 10 years ago. I didn't finish it, but what I did read showed me the value in choosing to connect with co-workers. My tendency was to head straight to my desk and get to work. I found that simply greeting people in the morning and saying "Hi" to coworkers as we pass in the hallway has increased my comfort level and theirs.

In "The Autistic Brain," #TempleGrandin describes her theories about the different ways we process information. She concludes with advice on how we can find success in life by focusing on our strengths.

@filmfreak75 @actuallyautistic You mean something like this? I am now reading Peter Vermeulen's 'Autism And The Predictive Brain'. Very interesting stuff in there, that to me, as an autistic adult, makes a lot of sense.
