Whats your most recent ASD moment?

Post Reply New Topic

Just happened a few minutes ago and I am not sure if it was an ASD thing or his problem.


We were both talking on MSN and he told me his sad story that happened in his childhood.

Then hours later when I am online again, he IMs me and asks me what I thought of his story.
I go "what story?" and he tells me. I say "Oh it was sad." he thanks me and does thumb down icon. He told me it gives him a good feeling I say that and then wrote not in parentheses.

I couldn't say his story was good because child abuse is not good. It's bad so I said it was sad. So much for trying to be sensitive.

While at a restaurant with several coworkers today, my order was delivered wrong - and I barely was able to get myself out to walk before I had a huge furious meltdown right in the middle of it all.

Mailman knocking on my door and handing me the mail because our mailbox was full. I say "thanks" without even giving him eye contact.

Just now! A Door to Door salesman trying to sell me steaks from a truck. Nearly had a melt-down because he disturbed my dogs & interupted me here..
No bloody solicitors wanted!

Most recent moment?

At the dentist's, trying to get something corrected with my jaw. I listen as the dentist was fumblingly trying to explain that my jaw is rubbing against its cavity in my skull and that this is irritating the cartilage and the bursa, causing inflammation and pain.

He was trying to use different words than what I just said above because he thought I wouldn't understand the terminology. He got stuck at bursa...didn't know what to call it so I would understand...

While he was searching for a word, I said, "are you talking about the bursa in my joint?" He was SO surprised!
"How did you know that??"

How was I supposed to explain that I have Asperger's and that my special interest used to be horses, specifically their legs and their joints, so I know what the anatomy of a joint is????

I think it scares doctor's a little bit when you know what's going on, and they assume you don't.

Me at breakfast: I was eating a plate of scrambled eggs while pacing around the kitchen and reciting Strong Bad Email #82 from memory in between bites:

(I tend to recite various Homestar Runner clips at random; this particular one is a favorite of mine.)

My lover told me he put a cloaking device on my DS Lite and I actually believed him, yet it was in front of me. I checked the screen to see if it was still there. Wow.

My husband and mother tease me and I take it all so seriously and they say it was a joke. I didn't get the joke.

Riding in the car talking to my mom, who has never played video games at all, about how Diablo 2 was so much cooler than Diablo 3 and explaining how much more atmospheric it was. Then I told about how much fun I use to have with old friends during the first two WoW expansions when we would camp newbies in the alliance starting zone and then ranted about how games weren't as enjoyable anymore and other stuff. All to my mom, she just listened and laughed some.

I was having a little too much fun with spraying water around when I was out watering the lawn.

i went to see my sister and my mum said she really appreciated my visit and it meant so much to them and i thought she meant it. then it occurred to me to ask if she was being sarcastic. she was. very sarcastic.

Was at the beach with cousin and felt depersonalized and derealized. I barely talked to her because I was nervous and didn't know what to say.

When someone says something obviously mean then says it's a joke.

I generally say. It's not a joke. It doesn't have a punch line. It isn't funny and if you consider saying cruel and mean thing funny then you are sick and should seek help. A real "joke" is something a comedian might say or could come in an email. Saying stuff to be mean is just terrible and is a reflection on the teller not the receiver. So enjoy your day trying to rectify your personal self view now you hopefully realize you are just an as*hole with a lame ass excuse for it.

My oldest is very ill. When someone tells me if it were their kid they would use some untested multi level marketing BS to cure them. I ask are you an expert on juvenile ncl? Do you have some info on it? Do you know someone with it? Let me clarify for you. If it were your kid you would spend about 3 months crying your eyes out. You would show up to events after changing your clothes in the car because of the tear stains when you can't stop crying. Then you would find one of the few experts on the planet to advise you. What you wouldn't do it listen so some as*hole selling their s**t so they can make a second income off something peddled to everyone as a cure all just for the sake of the almighty dollar. Then I tell them they looked like such a nice person before they started telling me what they would do. This happens about once every 3 months.

Hats, sunglasses and ear buds. When you wear sunglasses and a hat you eliminate the bright light in your face. You don't need to make eye contact. With ear buds in (even without an iPod) no one talks to you. If they do I pull one ear bud out so I can end the conversation when I put it back in. Great stuff!! !!

I don't meltdown much anymore. I work hard to avoid it because I feel like s**t and obsess on it for so long it is much easier to avoid.
