Nap Time at the Party: Confessions of a Socially Exhausted Aspie

Me at social events:

Me: I need a nap.

NT: Again?

Five minutes later.

NT: (Cracks door) You need to come down and talk to people. This is your fifth nap today. Everyone is starting to look at me funny.

Me: How about if you tell them I need to get to bed early? I am an early to bed, early to rise person. It’s the truth.

NT: Yeah, but it’s only 6pm. (Slaps forehead)
