Usually, if you are in social situations that people make fun of you, or you have no grasp on the conversation, observe how they interact. If they do not liked to be watched, just sit and keep quiet. It's how I 'changed', however, it probably had close to no foothold on my mental change.

You see, Aspergers is caused by a malformed gene that codes your brain. Sometimes, at puberty, DNA methylation causes the genes in brain cells to go back to normal, however, no scientists know if that is actually what happens, or what would cause it.

Even so, if you are stuck with Aspergers for life, do not fret. All the aspies I have met have some gifts. There must be something you are really good at. Mine is noticing detail, being (annoyingly) smart, and having really good short term memory.

I thought that Aspergers was caused by the synapses on the neurons not connecting to one another. Anyway, how is your "working" memory? In other words, acquiring information and then using that information right away. The reason why I ask is because my working memory is impaired.

Pretty dang good, if you are talking about something like the game Simon.
