How Could I Handle this Situation Better

Post Reply New Topic

OK, You don't have to bite my head off. Not everyone has the same issues. I would actually be able to do that and I have done it before so it's not an automatic assumption that everyone on the Spectrum can't start a document in one medium and finish it in another. If you were criticizing me for suggesting it that is not fair.

Ski, it's okay. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm just kind of picky and weird.

I told you guys I'd make that thread: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt259817.html

Understand I cannot do any modifications to my bedroom at all. And the house completely belongs to my grandmother.

Thanks Aceo. I understand picky and weird, I get that way a lot too. It's okay. I am a little sensitive today too, It's been a hard week. I really do hope we can help you find a solution though because it is really important that you get to write.

Makes it sound like I'll explode if I don't write, hahaa.

I know that feeling! LOL!

You should just write stream of consciousness, then edit (or don't edit) later.

I wish you had one of those manual typewriters....you could do a Kerouac (without the uppers, though LOL).

Just write your impressions, intersperse those with some input from the past. You could create a prose collage.

Add some suitable dialogue into the menage.

Kerouac exploded if he couldn't write.

Sorry. I didn't mean to come over that way.

I tend to collapse into a puddle when I can't write.

How is she stopping you from doing this? All you have to do is get a set of headphones, plug it into your computer, and use something like this: http://simplynoise.com/

Eh hem, "I hate seeing wires where they don't belong"

Then get a wireless headset and hide the plug on the back of your computer.

Thank you Tahitii. I'm more sensitive today too. Thank you for apologizing. We are totally cool you and me.

lol

You're just trying to teach me how to be naughty

I don't think you did anything wrong either but NTs have a way of looking at things like acting out of ignorance which, if it hurts their feelings, you're still responsible for it. As far as I'm concerned it's completely valid for you to think your sister knows that's when you write. Especially if you've spoken about it before. Even if you haven't, if she sees you doing it everyday at certain times that's a pattern she should have learned. But some people aren't that observant to what others are doing around them. Maybe she just genuinely wasn't aware that these are your peak creative times. So you assume she should know that (as aspies sometimes do). When we think that others should know what we know we sometimes get frustrated with them and they might not understand why. Just keep that in mind. If I was you I would consider apologising and saying something like 'Sometimes I forget that people aren't aware of everything I'm thinking' then ask if the two of you can work out some sort of deal regarding your writing time and her music time. Maybe you can take turns or you can start slowly implementing music into your writing time to see if you can get used to it.

Sometimes you just have to be just a little rebellious. I've never liked following the rules though, whenever people present me with a set of rules I often find new ways to bend or sneak around them, especially if I think that those rules are stupid or unjust. If I were living in your situation right now, I would be going bonkers.

Trust me. I am not actually the innocent person I play myself up to be. She hates us eating in the office, I found numerous ways of sneaking snacks into the den and munching on things.

She hates me playing loud music. So I play loud music just to annoy her. I am no prince. I just pretend to be, hahaha.

It's just she has kicked me out before, I lived 6 months couch surfing and being on the streets before she thought I "learned my lesson"
