Asperger Bits

I have had a week full of Asperger "bits": small things that, in themselves are not very important, but which are very much Asperger-related.

First. I was with a colleague this week who is very assertive with customers. He's a very nice person, but sets "boundaries" with other people. If they play ball with him, he plays ball with; if they don't, he is very assertive in his response and makes sure that they know what he will - and will not - tolerate.

Very important and valuable insight for me to observe.

Secondly, I have been under a bit of pressure this week with workload. Not enough to put me under stress, but enough for me to focus on "ploughing my own furrow".

I barged past someone through a door this week when I should have let them pass first! I was thinking of myself and not other people. I have colleagues at work with different agendas and I need to remember this.

Finally, I am in a bit of a comfort zone at the moment and am reminded that I must not allow myself to remain so.

My work situation is not bad, but also not quite how I want it. I need to introduce a bit of urgency in to my situation to try and move things forward.
