do people with As like saying

Post Reply New Topic

I usually say Aii ! Oyy ! and Oh Sh*t ! ! a lot. My repertoire of exclamations
is not all that great.

No, I don't say that. Part of it is my religious background, part of it is being a California native and not wanting to sound like a Valley Girl. Like, y'know?

I usually don't say that but I think that it is something that aspies as well as nt's say. I do have the tendency of saying certain words or phrases very frequently, things that I pick up from books or TV.

Actually, I remember some parts of my youth like they happened early this morning or something. I STILL remember the jerk on the motorized scooter that once acted like he SAVED me from drowning when he REALLY tried to force me down. I remember what that felt like and how I had to swim around his hand.

I remember how I had a few birthday parties in a little room in front of that very same pool, and how I hated even the TEXTURE of the sweaters an uncle used to get me. I always hated them, and he knew it.

I remember how people couldn't understand some "big" words I used, so I had to start speaking simpler. I remember having trouble with some rhetoric and sarcasm. Sarcasm is ESPECIALLY hard to discern if the unintended meaning is more precise.

I remember being called a knowitall, arrogant, etc.... That sometimes STILL happens.

I used to have MORE problems with voice volume, and sometimes still do. If I talk too long, am too tired, repeat too often, or am too excited, the volume of my voice may unconciously increase, or sometimes even DECREASE.

I used to be able to SENSE someone within like 5 feet of me. And I SWEAR the room would heat up! I STILL don't like people touching me, and rarely touch ANYONE outside of a handshake THEY initiate. And tags and fit used to bother me a LOT! HECK, fit bothered me until late into my teens.

And I ALWAYS did, and still do, look down, etc... I rarely look into anyones eyes, am quick to look away, etc....

I used to have a need to help and that meant calling attention to other peoples mistakes. I also kept refining anything I did.

I was surprised(Since she seemed to be less trusting), but my mother recently told me that she once asked me if I ever lied. My response, that she said? "Well, I always try not to.". I swear, I think I was pretty old before I told a lie. NOT because I didn't know how, or because I couldn't, but simply because I didn't want to. And I, in my own way, saw it as a feeble attempt to "pay it forward". (Vague reference to a film that came out much later where a kid, asked by his teacher to create a plan to "change the world", decided to do good deeds on the condition that the beneficiary do good deeds for others.) Unfortunately, like that kid, my honor was met with little reciprocation, so I eventually succumbed.

I used to be precocious, tenacious, studious, etc... I would go through dictionaries and encyclopedias for FUN! I still remember even in my twenties going to the library every weekend or so.

Yes i say OMG too much. I used to say Holy Cow instead.

I prefer z0mgz myself

russian eh?

I prefer not to use His name just to say it

Omg no I don't!

wait...

No, I don't. I believe that God's name is not something to be tossed around frivolously. Also, it does tend to make one sound like a Valley Girl. I'm 42 years old, with a Master's in English, and it's not an image I wish to cultivate.

Oh Gosh, Oh My Word, Oh Flipping Heck, or when I'm stressed it's OH GREEEAAAAAT

I let out strings of profanities when very frightened.

doesnt god have like 12 different names in the bible? so why would just saying one would be considerd a sin?

Oh my Voldemort.

No, and I seriously doubt this has anything to do with AS.

i could see how someone could have one of there intrests be repeating words like 'omg'
