    Deadlines are a necessary part of life and are part of the aforementioned structure, but for a person with Asperger’s there may need to be some flexibility within time frames. Sometimes a person with AS needs to think about an idea or project for a while first, before he/she tackles it. If you force them to dive into a task without giving them a chance to digest the Big Picture—where all the parts fit and what the outcome will be, they might not “get it.”

    Loud noise can feel like a physical assault but even quiet sounds may be painful and annoying, such as the hum from fluorescent lights, refrigerators, ceiling fans, printers, and other equipment.
    Over-stimulation from noise in the workplace, from too much conversation, chatter, machinery, alarms, announcements, computers, etc., creates confusion. It can cause people with AS to become cranky or withdrawn; cause headaches, and trigger reactions such as having to cover one’s ears; an urgent need to flee the room; feeling frozen or inert; or feeling sick, even feeling as if one’s head “would explode.” Many with AS don’t like shouters—people who talk louder and more boisterously than a situation calls for—and many of us are very soft-spoken.

    Making eye contact has been described by some as physically hurting them, being confusing, or containing too much information. As a result of not being able to make eye contact, others may form a low opinion of this person, particularly if they are unaware of their condition, or they don’t have an understanding of AS.
