Do you find any Autism or AS traits (in others) annoying?

Post Reply New Topic

Definitely. I am annoyed by rigid thinking, talking too much about special interests, short tempers and screaming.

I don't find autistic traits annoying. I understand what autistic people go through, so that helps me to be better able to take a walk in their shoes. As for the going on about special interests, I'm one of those types. I've learned to keep them under control to the best I can while on WP and I've learned a long time from my parents that it's bad to talk about my special interests at the tender age of 10. I'm also the type to celebrate my autism, so I like to share everything about me.

I have a problem for people who say they "credit their disability" It really makes no sense if you think about it.

I find pretty much all human beings to be annoying. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of traits they have, autistic or NT or whatever. Other people just irritate me. It's not something I can change by having patience or compassion or understanding for other people, it still stresses me out. It's the misery of my life.

Nah, we're all OK.

Annoying? Nope.

Expecting me to listen to her boring conversation without paying the least attention to mine (fyi I do try to listen to her, and people generally think I'm a nicer person to be with)
Expecting me to travel all the way to help carry her luggage without asking me permission nicely first, when I have injured both my arms from overcarrying
Flattening my good pair of expensive shoes (used to prop up the autolock door of my place where I let her stay the night, she didn't use her cheap sneakers instead)
Asking people help for coursework without thanking them
Expecting people to respond to her replies for homework help asap but refusing to help in return
Always asking me if there are "any cute guys" where I happen to be, and what I think of my guy pals
When I post nice pictures of the food I eat on Facebook, always trying to run down my food and promoting whatever she ate that day ("my food is superior to yours, nya nya nya!")
Tagging me in her many rows of self-taken pictures
Her many rows of self-taken pictures (wth are there no pics of landscape? it's all just about her FACE)
Nagging me to comment on her pictures
Trying to fish compliments from guys who are only out to ogle her Facebook pics
Using my apartment as a storage warehouse for 3 months
Expecting me to bring her stuff on the times most convenient for her (which are inconvenient to me), and refusing to come at the times I am free (despite the fact she is free) - you see, I let her store her belongings in my flat.

I realise I'm being oversensitive, but I was brought up to appreciate good manners.

Yes I do. You show interest in them and they show little interest in talking to you unless you keep pushing them. I do the same thing with many people too, but it is annoying. Hypocrisy? Yes. But there isn't much I can do about it. I think I outside of a romantic relationship I would not care much to hang out with people with AS. I would want a romantic relationship with someone with AS is because I would not have to change and we could be more understanding of each other's peculiarities. For some reason I am quite attracted to women who display AS symptoms. I regret not doing something in the past, especially with classmates (who had AS) in university.
