I know that long before my son got the Asperger's diagnosis, I would often coach him in how to behave or what to say in various circumstances.

I have suggested to him that if he simply think of all of us NTs as being very high maintenance people, which we are from the perspective of an Aspie, then maybe we will be easier to take.
