What do you do when...

Perhaps she is Borderline PD?You could try and do a goggle on the DX and photocopy it for her.I would suggest and maybe even assist her with getting some professional counseling.She will get to be the center of the universe for 30 min to an hour.
I really attract this type of person and they will literally try and suck you dry if you let them.It's an interesting DX to learn about but not the easiest person to be friends with.particularly the clingy,drama queen parts.

Oh, man, I can't STAND it when that happens...
What's worse is that it's me own mother. EVERY TIME SHE SEES ME!
She's always on about some topic while I delve into my own little world and when she asks a question she has to end up near screaming to get a response, and I end up having no idea about the question asked.
After about 20 mins of this she storms off. It seems NTs can be amazingly persistant with the whole conversation thing...
Sometimes if I'm not too deeply in my own world I'll subconciously reply with "Hmm" and she will repeat the question up to 10 times just to get a "Yeah" out of me.
Am I just not giving the boredom impression or something? Or is it that she's not picking up on me...?

Exposing yourself works wonders

She has a tendancy to yell.
If she found out I show the symptoms of an Aspie, she'd freak and make me stand in her beloved "Naughty corner"
But I think she's just afraid of it. When my old school's psyshyatrist told my Mum what she thought, she moved me to another school.
I have two severely autistic brothers so I'm thinking she's gotta be scared of it or something.

Can't you just get her to realize that you are old enough that you won't regress, etc... and that you have been ok at this time, and are ok with it? Obviously, there is nothing to be scared about. HECK, she could have had a "normal" daughter that was a GENIUS that could have a nasty accident and become a vegetable. She ought to be happy that you are who you are.

LOL. That slapping is SPECTACULAR.

"Remember that time my sister slapped you on the bus? Yeah well I'm bordering on doing the same if you don't give me a break..."

^Win.




And in regards to NTs being obsessed with conversing to the ends of time...trust me, they're not the only ones! (I'm NT, my boyfriend is AS, that's why I'm here ) My guy has a habit of talking 'at' me...he firehoses me with what's interesting to him at a time, sometimes for more than half an hour in one sitting. I can barely get a word in edgewise, literally...and if I try to change the topic of conversation he'll humour it for a sentence or so, then go back to what he was saying before Usually it's alright though, because he's talking about cars which is our common interest. When it goes into RC and computers, he loses me...I have no knowledge in RC, and little interest in computers further than what I use at work

Aspergers ain't nothing compared to 2 severely autistic folk. When your mom or whoever bitching at you. Say something like "i enjoy sniffing dog poop" then she will just wonder what the hell you're talking about and walk away

I can see your point.
It's just she's impossible to talk to.
But I'm proud of who I am and can live with it weather she realises or not. It's better for her to beleive I'm NT, after my brothers it might crush her inside. And she deserves it.
She just tends to steryotype all autistics by the ADHD/OCD/Autistic 19 yr old screaming and laughing at everything and anything.

I think the best thing to do is walk away.

Nice signature. Each number is the sum of the two previous...
