I try to act in accordance to my own strict rules because acting like a giddy child is annoying.

Even when the 'norm' is acting like a giddy child.

Part of why I'm teetotal and don't ruin myself in pubs like a lot of adults do.

Nah there's too many people being giddy and it annoys me cos I can never tell if they're kidding or not.

Like yesterday I was playing a board game with mum. We had to think of words/phrases starting with certain letters.

She kept using adjectives which were random.

So 'scary things' 'B'. That should = 'Banshee' for eg. She said 'Big Scary Monster'...

Why should we respect a system that has no respect for its individuals?

NTs don't care about what's right as long as social stuff is adhered to.

When interrupted they don't even go back to what they were saying after.

They sing songs and don't learn the lyrics. It's not hard to restrict yourself to songs you know the lyrics of around other people so they don't just get snippets.

They prefer the wrong answer everyone agrees with to the actual right answer. Not just when it's something subjective.

It's really annoying.

I don't expect of you to become a NT. Sorry - but life isn't funny without fun.
You can believe me that. Throwing the next pillow after you ... :mrgreen:

"Having ASD gives us licence to be inappropriate! "
My opinion is a little softer, which is being autistic can make being inappropriate an occupational hazard

Hey professor - right now it becomes only a question of a healthy philosophy then. In the end is the world nothing but a big toy to explore and to play with. And there is no good reason for not making the most of fun out of this and your life. That game always ends deadly either. But that you are disliking a game doesn't prevents you from participating in it without even being asked whether you like to do so. But with your glasses on your nose and your seriousness are you qualifying as a really pretty target for waterbombs right now. They could help to clean up your mind a bit. And as long as you dislike to join that game then I don't even have to be afraid that you are throwing them back at me ... :wink: :twisted:

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the philosophy subforum? :roll:

Define 'has the right' here and now. Anybody has only all the rights he claims to be his or her ones despite of all others who deny this. The bully claims his right to act like one. So you have either to show him his limits or to be fine with that.

Interesting opinions.

Haven read up on Asperger Syndrome extensively, I understand that inappropriate behaviour can be exhibited by people with the condition and in some cases, this can very much be a symptom or feature of the condition.

Of course, not all inappropriate behaviour exhibited by a person with Asperger Syndrome is necessarily caused by their condition, however, how can an onlooker know what behaviour is and what behaviour is not caused by the condition.

May I also establish that when I originally started this thread, I was asking a question and was not necessarily writing a confession.

May I also establish that the inappropriate behaviour that I mentioned was not a bullying behaviour, as labelled by some, but perhaps more of a type of inappropriate behaviour that may be exhibited by some Asperger Syndrome suffers
which is more likely attributed to frustration in terms of communicating with the woman (could be men or woman).

Inappropriate behaviour of this form I do not believe is bullying, although perhaps bad taste and may even in the right context be considered a minor offence by the law and may warrant penalising the perpetrator with a caution or minor disorderly conduct charge.

Such inappropriate behaviour among people, whether NT or have ASD, is quiet common, especially in environments such as pubs / bars / clubs / and in the streets after closing time.

As you likely know, in such environments, people do commonly consume alcohol, and alcohol does make some people act inappropriately.

Whether all people who act inappropriately at any time in history deserve to be policed and charged or put in prison,
I do not think so, and if you did, you would end up with everyone in prison and no one left to run the world.

If you were to examine every person on this forums life, from the day they were born until present.
I am sure that most people if not everyone on this forum has acted inappropriately at some time in their life.

But that's OK. As fortunately we do not have the thought police policing us while reviewing our entire life history.
Anyway, the reason why i started this thread, was out of interest, to see what people's opinions are.

Which people kindly have given their opinions, which i have read and find interesting.

Going back to my original point however, as ASD / Asperger Syndrome is a neurological developmental disorder that causes permanent dysfunction to the sufferers neurological networks, which is known to cause problems in how the sufferer interacts with the world and causes significant problems with communication.

I wonder if there is anyway to ascertain as to whether a persons with ASDs inappropriate behaviour is or is not a symptom of their condition, or instead, their inappropriate behaviour is behaviour chosen out of choice.

Please note that I am not making the statement that I think all people with ASD act inappropriately.
Instead, at the start I made some provocative statements which were intended to provoke debate on the subject of inappropriate behaviour from people with ASD, which is due to deficits in social skills that many people with ASD have, which i believe is partly caused by having the condition.

May I also establish that this post is not manipulative in nature and is not intended to give me the licence to "bully" others. To label me as a bully perhaps is a form of bullying.

If anyone thinks I am a "bully", please read all my posts and read how I generally reply / debate.
You will find that I am generally supporting, helpful and some times funny. And not a bully, as implied by some.
Thank you

Whatever you want. I didn't get NTs but had no idea why. They did act strange in my eyes and I especially didn't understand the acting of the women. Didn't knew anything about ASD nor Aspergers or NTs. I didn't get them and for this I tried to find out the hard way also by acting an inappropriate behaviour by choice.

E.g. going to the middle of a very full dancefloor which was full of young people by pushing all guys totally reckless aside for finding out how many of them would start to fight with me. A very big guy in the middle did reach after me but I stopped him by blocking his arm aside fast and very direct without even caring him anymore afterwards. The other guys got over it. But three hot young girls who were about 20 years old and for this not even half as old as me did start to rub against me with their back now all together at the same time and that was very unexpected to me and I didn't get them at this time. :mrgreen: But of course it's just a part of the puzzle. My expectation was that some guys would start to fight with me immediately. I was wrong. Another part of that puzzle.
You may adapt to the behaviour of NTs or try to push your luck just for fun to find out how they react to inappropriate behaviour but it's always your very own choice. A lot of the adapted behaviour is part of the hierarchy thing that NTs are into. You may join that or don't care about it once you are on top of the hierarchy and for this don't have to. Calculating NT girls are totally after those on top of the hierarchy who don't even need to care about social behaviour but you may have all other people and especially the guys against you if being that way. I always disliked girls who tried to approach me after stuff like that because it's not the real me nor a way I like to be at all.
