One aspect of AS is impulse control, espescially when ADHD is a comorbid dx as is the case for me. I sometimes cannot stop the things I say & do, but controlling my mouth is still my weakpoint. I once got married because I didn't understand the difference between will & would in speaking about marriage. The actual marriage was over quickly when obstacles of AS presented in me & she couldn't understand them. Living w/ this to a NT partner must be really confusing because there is quiet from me for long periods & then I need feedback on something so I just walk into a room & start talking about the subject on my mind, sometimes over-talking & missing my own question. Once I either become too confused to keep talking or get a satisfactory answer I just wander away back into my own world. I think a NT views the impulsive speech as a conversation or attempt at one & the NT doesn't comprehend what the basis of the AS tornado that just went by them was. So I guess I hope this helps others see it from a different point of view.
