oh, man...
"why do you hang out with him, don't you know he's gay?"
i would assume so.
"i want to kill those d*** F**s, so the will burn in h***"
what part of love thy neghbor do you not get?
"oh my god, you are gay?"
you don't need to ask him if i am or not...
the worst is when I am in a training class at work and the others that are training with me give each other that 'look' that says 'wow, what a ***' and yet I am learning the high tech training WITH them, being paid as much as THEY are and performing in the job as well as THEY do to be IN the danged training in the first place.
I actually had one of the 'look' exchangers ask his cube mate if I was still in the excelled group, and I over heard. I just turned and stated "yeah, who would have thought a *** would be in the same group as you?' and he DAMNED WELL APOLOGIZED for the 'look' right then and there. I was so satisfied.

Hi "how she twists and twirls"
Why is it so important to tell this person he/she is wrong? Ever considered this is a way to let of frustration that we carry with us after years of not being understood?
ever consider that some people may find small talk and purposeless remarks like "are you cold?" time consuming and annoying?
Just because NT's think it's a nice thing to do doesn't mean we should agree just because NT are higher in number.
What I hate most is teh double standard:
"Oh look, he found a mathematical row describing this pattern! He must be because he's smart."
"Oh look, he behaves in ways ways we don't understand! Must be because he's autistic."
LOl,
nice to see my posts actually helped someone
you're welcome
"How can you claim to have a form of Autism, you seem nothing like Rain Man"
I saw Rainman. What is 24 x 56? Why can't you do that in your head?
That's nothing, a person that really has Autism could tell you the square root of 7572987575745894276754 right off the top of his head, unfortunately they'd never be able to say it because they either can't speak or are too depressed that they're never going to live a fulfilling life.
I actually had someone tell me that Autism needs to be cured because NOBODY with it can possibly live a fulfilling life, of course she is the parent of some unfortunate kid with Autism, so she tried to explain why I'm an **** for not being pro-cure.
Not that's it's unfortunate for the kid to have Autism, it's unfortunate for the kid to have autism and to have a mother that thinks that way. For fucks sake, show a little pride in your kid instead of acting like he has a terminal disease.
I always asked for books as presents aswell.
(nods) I asked for a dictionary for Christmas. (Back before people had computers at home.) It was my favorite gift that year and I still have it.
When i was a kid "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about". I always thought that obviously I had a reason for crying or I wouldn't be doing so.
Question I get a lot, ususally from fairly unintelligent people:
'How come you know EVERYTHING?'
This is a stupid question because:
A. I obviously don't know EVERYTHING, I just know an awful lot more than them.
B. How am I supposed to know WHY I know so much? It isn't a conscious effort to remember random peices of information, my brain just seems to absorb information like a sponge. Usually the people who ask this question have 'teflon' brains (nothing sticks
).
The other daft question is:
'How come you're so clever?' (again, usually asked by idiots)
How do you answer that question?
I have good genetics? My parents nurtured my natural curiousity as a child? I studied hard at school? I eat oily fish? A combination of the four?
I usually just say 'I dunno,' and get away as fast as possible.
(this is 2nd hand) Conversation in bank:
Customer: I'm closing my credit cards accounts and cutting up my cards.
Bank teller: Wow that must be nice.
Customer: Yes, it feels really good to pay for things with cash instead of credit cards.
Bank teller: Oh, I could never afford to do that!
What about the situation where somebody gets irritated with us for saying or doing something when we think we didn't do anything wrong and then when we say "I didn't know" they say "well, you should have known" or "everybody knows that" or "you should know without being told".
Goodness. You just gave me a moment of insight in a flash. When mom was mad at me I used to ask "What did I do?" and this would make her more angry. She would mock in her most sarcastic voice "What did *I* do? What did *I* say?" like she was sick of hearing me pretend innocence. She'd say that I knew perfectly well what I'd done, or said wrong. But... I didn't or I wouldn't have asked. We replayed that scene countless times until I was an adult.
I got yelled at (literally) by a cop once. He was directing traffic. I was confused about what he was trying to signal for me to do. In fact, I said that out loud to my father at the time, "I don't know what that means. Does he want me to turn here?" So, I turn right and the cop screams at me. I explained that I had been confused about what he wanted me to do. He shouted "THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE. I should give you a ticket for crossing a solid line!" (a painted line). Well, no, I wouldnt have normally done so but the rule is that you obey the cop and I tried. (sigh)
"I'm sorry to hear that," when I told someone I'm Aspie.
They probably had no idea what they were supposed to do with that information
I was over 30 years old and on my way to compete in a race when my mother advised "Don't pass the boys or they won't want to be your friend."
From my ex: "Books are full of bull****"
