100 Ways to Annoy Somebody With Asperger's Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Annoying thing one hundred whatever...

(Applies to Aspies who've lived with it for decades, has children and other relatives with it, and has studied it for over ten years.)

Tell them you know "all about" AS, and what the best "treatment" is, even though you don't have it yourself, and that you "understand what it's like."

NO, YOU DON'T!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

tell them the only reason they hold a certain opinion or do certain things is because they are autistic and are not in their right minds and therefore cannot make reasonable judgements or are too stuborn to change.

Write novels from their perspective that you don't understand and never will. Make $$$ off sh***y novels.

Say Asperger's isn't real autism or autism

Say it isn't a disability

Say it's a gift

Take what they say out of context by reading in what wasn't even there because that is what it meant in your language as an NT

We all have a "touch of Aspergers/Autism." (Yeah, right.)

"You're a hypochondriac."

"It's all in your head." (Might have already posted this one.)

"Are you ret*d?"

"Freak, weirdo, insert other epithet here."

"Don't label yourself." (As if all the difficulties you face will magically disappear if you don't label yourself and you will become normal.)

Here's another way to annoy (or really make one mad) - take the Aspie's words and twist them around into an attack when he/she is in a state of stress related shutdown and can't speak. (I absolutely detest this.)

Intentionally sing off-key, flat, or sharp.

*insert picture of my brain bleeding here*

Call them smiley. I have an uncle that does that to me and I hate it.

Tell them, that in your opinion, as a doctor and a specialist in M.E. who has seen many with Asperger's, that ALL the academics at Oxford and Cambridge MUST be Asperger's, because they don't make eye contact, either.
And then proceed to tell your 15-year old patient who has asked to see a doctor about their Asperger's, that "it's not really a problem" because the patient is "perfectly normal at the moment".
(For the thousandth time, former M.E. "specialist", I have learned my social skills. I know what's expected. I go through a checklist of "eye-contact" to "not boring the person and I hope they're not angry". It's exhausting, and I WAS diagnosed with Asperger's. You can't un-diagnose it!) /endrant

(Something very annoying)

Apparently im no longer aspergers cause after many years of torture and self mutilation ive learnt how to make eye contact and grill through social interactions.

Fck me im cured.

Stand really close to the Aspie, and then talk loudly enough to be heard in a full auditorium.

Smile aggressively at the Aspie in the supermarket, then every time you encounter them in another aisle, stare and do it again. And again. And again.

Just stare, with a bewildered look on your face, as if the Aspie owes you some kind of long overdue explanation.

Launder your clothing in cheap synthetically scented soap, don it, and then keep breezing by an Aspie until they get a headache.

Make a fuss about them spitting in the kitchen sink
