Yea, my mum likes to poke fun at me for my aspie traits. But, she also sees how they can actually be helpful in the right situation. I guess I'm so unattached emotionally, it makes me perfect for talking to cops, kicking my sister's arsewipe BF's out when they point guns at the baby *long story*, pretty much anything. She also like how I see everything so black and white, gives her hope for my generation.
Although she didn't appreciate the aspie-ness when I brought home a drug test and cornered her. She won't get over it.
Oddly enough, she refuses to belive I have aspergers! She just thinks there is a group of people out there with this form of autism, and I just happen to be similar, but in no way have AS. Crazy woman.
Rest of the family thinks I'm flat out nuts though, and its always blamed on my mum, since she is an only child, they figure her genectics must have screwed up. Or her parenting style. Or whatever the excuse is this week.
