Aspergers and Phone Calls

I've tried for quite awhile to write about the anxiety of having to make a phone call, and the quiet terror that the phone ringing and needing to be answered brings.
 This sums it up nicely:

I can't "read between the lines"

Some people can sense where a situation is going or what someone really means by "reading between the lines"....all I see is blank paper.

View my complete profile
I'm a 61 year old, late in life diagnosed Autistic. I'm a 3rd generation Aspie and I raised a son with Aspergers as well. I love to write and have a book currently available on Amazon and Kindle. It is called Aspergers and the Alien. It was born from this very blog. Sure, they say Aspergers doesn't exist anymore but I still like the name I was diagnosed with. It's like a title, like a crown I wear that defines me in every single corner of my life. I've started a new blog because it feels like I've grown and changed so much. Follow me there for new insights and whines and tribulations. Aspergers and the Alien Amy M. Murphy
