Quote:Repetitive behavior is probably universal among people on the autism spectrum.

 

My concept of logical thinking goes like this: If you know what makes me mad, doing it (for example saying something about cats being food) is making me mad on purpose even if the statement is obviously a joke.

 

People with Asperger's syndrome appear to be slow learners because of their social deficits. Intellectually, there is often no difference in learning speed. A common problem is taking information too literally. Years ago at work I took a phone call and told the caller the lady he wanted was out of the room. He said, "I will call back in a couple minutes." When my coworker came back she was mad at me for not taking a message because someone else told her about the call. The guy never called back. How was I supposed to know she needed his name and number? That kind of thing can make a smart person look stupid.

 

Here is my perspective.  It's largely a misconception that other people "make you mad".  No one makes you mad, becoming mad is something you allow to happen to yourself.  While it's easier to blame external causes for becoming angry, taking personal responsibility when it happens may help people enjoy your posts more.  I think you asked about correcting grammar.  It's a minor nit, but if it's repetitive it can start to seem pedantic which is generally an unpleasant quality.
