Miscommunication on my part—at no point have I had access to books of that sort, nor am I sure that they even exist (and there’s little use in looking now). I just meant to say that they would have been really useful.
Ahh, I see.
The time with the shrink sounds useful. That sort of personal engagement with a (good) shrink is helpful for everyone and so much more so for those for whom the advice of well meaning associates give is usually completely incomprehensible! What is this ‘appropriate’ term? What do people mean when they say ‘respect’? It’s sure as heck not what ‘respect’ resolves as to me with my neurological wiring! ‘Self esteem’? ‘Needy?’ “What do you mean tit-for-tat is not the right strategy for social games? That’s crazy!”
“What do you mean tit-for-tat is not the right strategy for social games? That’s crazy!”
Are you thinking you should defect first? Or that you should punish defectors more than tit-for-tat would? Social games aren’t as clearly defined as the prisoner’s dilemma, but tit-for-tat seems to be what people usually do (starting off on good terms, but getting back at someone when they’ve been wronged).
Young Aspies are often dumbfounded when they reciprocate aggression in kind and get punished for it while the instigator does not. They need to arrive at a more mature understanding of the Machiavellian nature of social games so that they can more realistically understand what is going on. This is the sort of thing a shrink can explain but many peers will not.
