Do you know any 'as*hole Aspies'?

Post Reply New Topic

"as*holes" can be everywhere, has nothing to do with autism.

You know, it's perfectly understandable to me to see many reactions to the effect that being an A-hole has nothing to do with Autism, but in some ways, I actually disagree.

I do agree that anyone, no matter what conditions they may or may not have, can be an A-hole. I'm not disputing that.

But Autism can, and I believe does sometimes, affect why and HOW one might become one, even if it wasn't originally in your nature as a young child.

I'll admit sometimes I can be a real JERK. But I really don't mean to be. Most of the time, when I am a jerk, I don't realize I'm being one until after the fact. Usually once I've been told by others that I'm being one. Sometimes attempts at smoothing things over only makes the matter even worse.

I do try not to use AS as the "excuse" for it all, but the truth is, almost all of the time, it IS the reason behind it. In part because of my limited ability to communicate effectively with others, and in part indirectly to delayed reaction to years of perceived and/or real abuse from others, probably due to the fact that AS makes me different from them, and those "others" never understood that difference. Heck, even I didn't understand it for most of my life.

I don't look for fault or blame anymore though. It's just not worth it. I just try to deal with each problem as it comes, and whenever trouble does arise, try to figure out what went wrong, and whether or not things can be smoothed over, even if it means apologizing no without knowing or caring if any fault can be found. Sometimes it just doesn't matter whether it was my fault, their fault, or just fallout from my having AS. Results are what matters. Apologizing isn't admitting fault. It's just a way of alleviating tension. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't do much good to dwell on it when it doesn't.

So, yeah, when you ask if I know any A-hole Aspies, my answer is "Yes."

ME!

No they do not exist apparently aspie men are all nice have you not seen the million + 1 "nice guys finishing last thread. "

Apparently aspie women are incredibly sweet a highly intelligent yet navive 5 year old child.

Since I trust no one I do not believe the play actor nor the film critic.

This "nice" bs should be kept to yourself people who yell this %^it from the roof tops remind me of the crazy carpet guy warehouse guy sirens going red light flashing , I ain't buying it, if it was a genuine sale you would not have to go to such lengths for a sale would you?

Do I count as one of the 'as*holes'? If I don't, I'd be a bit disappointed.

Why would you be nice to some one what ever do you hope to get out of it?

^^^^^


So if they are rewarded they get something out of of it ? duss making the act not truly altruistic right? But that's OK in my eyes it's a win/win all round I suppose ?

I just want to be left alone.


Why I have little care for people you ask if you'd been through what I have you'd have similar views to I,

Anyway I take a bottom up approach to the matter forget who quoted it " as long as their a slaughterhouses their will be killing fields."

I've said "no" to the slaughter houses more people should do likewise, theirs never been a vegan who sent men to war though sadly their are not many in politics who are (president of Slovenia comes to mind) and of cause Dennis Kucnich who's a cry baby liberal apparently ? and a few here in Australia all are "no " to war .

And no Hitler was not vegetrian

Oh and I might add I know I am very much liked by them , why would a human like me ? what have I got to offer them ? humour, intellect , ,money , I 'm seriously lacking in all those departments, thankfully these things do not matter to my birds .

I've been called an as*hole more times than I can count, but I rarely know what it was that I said or did that made the person feel this way.

I don't understand the point of these threads considering the OP starts the topic then leaves. Reminds me of that person who opened up a blog to peg serial killers as aspies, I always thought that person was just a prejudice liar.
