Whats your most recent ASD moment?

Post Reply New Topic

Two today, connected. Hippie co-worker just ups and hugs me out of the blue ("don't do that!"), my skin is undulating 30 minutes, then I get so flustered I hear me making word noises next 30 minutes, people at work staring at me, I cannot shut myself up. I usually feel talking to other people is a waste of time because it's better if I write my thoughts instead.

This post.

Listening to / playing / singing the same song over and over again, probably 20+ times today, many times in the past weeks as well.

Listening to the same CD over and over in one day.

It is a while ago and probably also a bit off topic, but after failing the driver's license test twice, I talked with my driving teacher about what could be done better, and we talked about how bad I am at looking ahead and predict the traffic. His comment was then: " Well it's not because I suspect you of being autistic or anything..." I found it very hilarious since I am Aspie, which I also pointed out xD

Being WAY too honest about a situation and expecting it to be ok. I really don't see why NT's don't appreciate honesty. I can deal with just about anything as long as you're being honest. It's the lies that I can't handle.

Tennis class instructor told me I'm hard to read and he couldn't tell if I was enjoying the class. I had to convince him that I was having fun even though it didn't seem like it. Still not really sure what I was or wasn't doing that made him unable to tell how I felt... maybe I wasn't smiling enough?

A few weeks ago, in band, the director was telling the trumpets that the time of this one piece was 120 (bpm). I checked the time on my phone, and said, "I think your watch is dead. It's 2:10; We have ten minutes left in class." He laughed, and announced that it was the first joke I told the whole year. At the time, that really confused me, because I was being totally serious.

The doorbell just rang and I ran upstairs and let my mum answer the door.

My husband asked me this morning if I had eaten yet and I said no. He then took out a box of Velveeta skillets and told me I can make it. So I make it and I eat it all and then my husband comes out and tells me I ate it all and I didn't save any for him. I didn't know it was for him too. I had also forgotten that he asked in the bedroom if I can make him some and then he asked me if I had eaten yet.


I did feel bad but he took it well and said it was okay and I needed to eat anyway and he poured himself a glass of orange juice and a bowl of cereal. At least last night when he asked me to make the orange juice and bring him a big glass of it, I remembered to do all that.

Yesterday My dad was driving us home from work in his truck. There was stuff in the bed of the truck that keep rolling around and making noise every time the truck turned.

On one of the turns he said " Maybe you can help me get the stuff out of the back."

So I look at the window to judge if I could fit through there to get the 'stuff out of the back' I said "I don't think I could fit through the window could you pull over?"

Then my dad said " I mean when we get home smart***."


Why don't people just say what they mean?

Today, I went in for intake to go back into therapy due to recurring depression. While trying to say "I will be safe and not try to kill myself before my first appointment" I managed to communicate nothing to the person I was talking to, to the point that she said if I didn't give her a straight answer she'd call in one of the crisis people to determine if I am a threat to myself. I thought I had given a straight answer.

On the other hand, I usually end up going the other way when speaking: Making my problems sound less serious than they are. I am not sure if this is an improvement.

Earlier in the week, with the emergency on call psychiatrist (not my usual one) after my suicidal ideation became suicide rehearsal and I had mentioned it without thinking about it to my GP.

Psych: Have you been low recently?
Me: *silently wonders what that means because it surely can't mean what I think it means*
Psych (clearly seeing perplexed look on my face or something tries again slightly differently): Have you been feeling sad?
Me: I don't know. What does that feel like?
Psych: OK. I'll move onto something else ...

BTW, I'm not kidding, I really don't know what sad feels like - is that because I have never been sad or because I don't recognise it??

I dunno if this is ASD or not but I can never tell so that is why I don't participate in these threads all that much.


I was in the bedroom and I accidentally trip on some cords and I pull the coffee maker off the dresser and luckily the pot was empty so only coffee grounds came out. I said I would clean it up when I am done and he said he didn't care. I took that as he didn't care for the mess so I decided to not clean it up since he didn't care. Then when I am done, he orders me to clean it up and I told him "I thought you didn't care, don't contradict yourself by saying you don't care and then act like you do care." He then told me what he meant about when he said he didn't care. he was still telling me to clean it up when I had nothing to clean it up with and I asked him how do I clean it up and he kept saying "clean it up." I said I would need the vacuum and he kept saying he didn't care and I said how do I clean it up then without it. Then he told me I can go get it and then come back to clean it up.

During my first appointment of my new assessment, I apparently demonstrated perseveration, without having planned to, in the way I kept going on and on about something. While telling some friends about that moment, I did it again with my description and my explanation of what perseveration is. Also, when I mentioned wrong Planet, I accidentally said it was dot com instead of dot net. It's really bothering me, and I won't have an opportunity to correct the error for weeks. I keep being angry and uptight about it, even though this happened a week and a half ago. What's more, I keep worrying that I'll forget to correct the error when that next opportunity comes.
