Well first of all what I find ridiculous is a lot of times NT's flip out and no one really holds it against them....but if someone who's different from them freaks out about something they stay on your case about it. I mean am I not just as entitled to flip out?
This. And I personally think that we aspies have it a lot better in such situations (some of the time, anyways). I recently had a issue where my stepmum was flipping out because of a white lie, and I've begun to notice as I get older than neurotypicals seem to be completely unable to seperate emotion from duty/situation/whatever.
They say they don't like someone at work... well you are working, what does that have to do with your personal feelings for the person? They focus on how they feel and completely forget that there is a situation at hand that needs to be looked after in a logical manner. I do not understand it, and truthfully I find it frustrating when I try and reason with someone only to get "you manipulate, you're cold and calculating" or "you don't see it like I see it, this means you can't trust me".
What does emotion have to do with anything?
