Very Proud of Myself!
I just planned a mild teasing for a co-worker AND got the rest of the research group involved. It was his birthday, so I ran to the C-store and picked up candles and a thing of muffins. We stuck a candle in each muffin and walked into the office singing Happy Birthday.
I know that for most of the people here this isn't a big deal, but I personally consider this to be a significant thing for me, because it shows social skills and interacting with people!
In fact, I am so proud that I might even use this as impetus to e-mail my social coach again!
(Other things that made me proud include managing to make a decision on my own about whether I should get a walking cast, even though I wasn't sure if my insurance covered it, or just get the plaster one. And that event resulted in me being jittery enough about it that I had to tell everyone that I had successfully made a decision. And now most of you have learned something new about what living with Asperger's is like.)
