Quote:Like I said before, you don't bother me at all. But I do have a question. It's apparent from this thread that you are fully aware of what your situation is and how your disability affects the way you interpret things and react to them. If that is true, why can't you make a little adjustment and every time you feel like someone is lying, or being mean to you, say to yourself, "No, this is probably my AS causing me to react this way. It's not the other person's fault." And then consider what you're about to say in light of that?


I mean, you have spent 3 pages explaining your situation, so you must be fully aware of what it is and how it affects you. Why can't you take that into consideration when you're using this message board? Are you using your AS as an excuse to make no effort of your own to adjust?

This is my issue too. If she is fully aware that she reacts a certain way to certain things, then she knows she's doing it.



JW, I think you've had almost 40 years of your family letting you act the way you do because it's easier than arguing with you. People on here aren't going to do that, nor should they have to. You need to make some concessions too. If joking and sarcasm upsets you, it's your responsibility to ignore it, it's not anyone else's responsibility to keep you from getting upset about it.
