II think trying to explain that to an Aspie kid would probably get you an incredulous look and the question, "Why do I need to change if they are doing something wrong?" I mean think about that. Is there any way to rationally explain that to a child? It just makes the insanity of it even more clear. What a mess.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Why should aspie kids change just so psychopaths like bullies can leave them alone? If someone had proposed that to me when I was being bullied in middle school, I would've told them what they can do with themselves because I didn't bother anyone. The kids were the ones breaking the rules and hurting me. Why should I be the one punished by being forced to change something about myself I can't?
Trying to change myself to fit the NT norm was what put me in the psych ward...the second time. The first time was due to depression brought on by my dysfunctional family. My parents and the people in the hospital acted like I was the one who was f*cked up yet my step-father was a drug addict who physically/verbally abused my mother. My mother was emotionally abusive toward me, my siblings were brats who got away with anything and my father, who was also a drug addict, wouldn't let me be a part of his precious family because I didn't want to be in his Jehovah's Witness cult. And I was the one who needed to be in the hospital?!
