Although if I had allowed myself to sit and stare at the wall for a while, I probably would have figured it out.
I have only been out of college/grad school for two years now, and I have had NUMEROUS difficulties with my roommates. I always figured there was something wrong with me, so I would try to spend time with them - going to the mall, the beach, parties at people's houses. I tried communicating with them ... but nothing worked. And I always wondered why I hated large social gatherings ...
imagine my relief when I found this book and realized that my extremely-extroverted roomie and I weren't communicating because we operate in different universes. She couldn't understand why, if she stopped to ask me to go with her as she ran out the door, I couldn't answer her right away and would resort to "no." I couldn't understand why people would ask me questions and I couldn't answer them off the top of my head, but that night or the next day I could give several good answers. Or why my brain always seemed to be going at warp speed right when I wanted to go to sleep at night ...
So, anyway, I am SO glad for this book. I am almost done with my first reading, and I will definitely go back for a second round.
