ASD or not.


My parents come by to get my son to bring back home with them for a while until things get better for my husband and I. Mostly him but also good for me too. I help them pack up some more stuff for him and I don't wake my husband up for him to say good bye because he was sleeping and I wanted him to get his sleep because I care about him. After they leave, my husband wakes up to use the bathroom and he asks if our son is still here and I tell him they already came and got him. He said he wanted to say good bye to him. I felt bad and selfish for not waking him up so I tell him I can call them on the phone so they can come back and he can say good bye to him. He said it was okay and I said they just left a few minutes ago. He still said it was fine and I no longer felt bad because I tried to solve it and he didn't want that solution and didn't care anymore.


Oh yeah sometimes my jokes are "mean"

Walking downtown in a crowded, hot area getting frustrated and just wanting to go back to the car and turn the a/c on.

I wake up early on the weekends and forget that I need to be quiet until a more reasonable hour when the roommates wake up, so ended up talking in a loud, animated way while hanging out with my fiance in the morning and I woke up the roommates.

One of my online friends accused me of being nasty to him. ASD or just his wrong perception. Hard to tell as an aspie.

Had a lot of them at the autism group I don't even remember them all. One of them was I did some social faux pass and I am still not sure what I did wrong. The other I kept stimming and I was trying hard to not interrupt.

I've been more or less in shutdown mode since I got overwhelmed with the amount of laundry we had to do today. I've uttered maybe three complete sentences in the last five hours.

I walked into a shopping cart on my way into a store.

And while waiting in a checkout line, I noticed a guy who was stimming about as much as I was. I watched him until he looked over at me.

Going out with friends and still feeling alone.

Having to sleep with a weighted blanket, ear plugs and an eye mask...and still not being able to sleep

I got lectured again today about not being "egotistical" when I'm matter of fact about being good at something. The fact that I'm also matter of fact when I suck at something doesn't balance this out, for some reason.

A customer said she has "a million" books scattered around her apartment. I asked her to compare the number of books she has to the number of books in my bookstore as a ratio or fraction so that I could get a better mental image of this supposed mini-library. She shrugged, giggled a little, took her books and left.

I just keep imagining her in a Langley brothers apartment with the book she purchased today at the top of a pile of newspapers

I'm pretty blatant when it comes to my capabilities, whether good or bad. Sometimes my low self-esteem gets in the way, but if I know I'm good at something or if I have a lot of knowledge on a subject, I refer to it. I also am upfront if I'm asked about something I cannot do or do well. However, since I have some odd difficulties (especially with coordination), some people don't believe me and then get exasperated when things don't work out.

Today I planned on going to the office hour of a subject I might start at university when I finish my BA. The secretary even asked whether I had any questions and I said, "No". I even lied to my mother about it, saying I went there, but will go another time again.

Had to work in another building because someone went on a trip. It was where I used to work at in 2010 before I was moved to another building. I go there and it felt weird because things there looked different. I also feel nervous because of the change and I always get this way when my boss adds a new task for me to do when someone is away and this was all totally different. If I were having a bad day or stressed out about something already, I would have a harder time dealing with it. I even had to look around the rooms first when I got there because they looked so different. It all felt weird and I felt nervous.

I learned about hidden motives and hidden agendas recently, as in how common they are with normal brained people. My husband sat next to me to help me do something and he didn't move away when he was finished. I asked him, "Since you are still next to me are you trying to ask for affection?" (like hugs, cuddling.) He said, "Oh, no, I was just thinking about something and didn't move. But, just so you know, there aren't hidden agendas in every thing people do or say."

walking straight into a post as i was watching and counting the lines as i walked
