first of all, I just saw this pic, the first thing i thought was ASPIE


here's my aspie incedent
my parents and i were on a weekend vacation to a small town called warsaw indiana. as we were walking i was quacking to the ducks to try and get them quack back, my dad told me to quack lower because a squeaky quack didn't sound quite right, so i squatted and quacked

what are some of your incedints?

A few days ago I was with a few people during break at school. My friend Josh then tells me,'We're going to have a staring contest!' then looks at me straight in the eye. I obviously look away because it got me really uncomfortable. So I lost in under 2 seconds.

The most recent one was somebody asked me how I found the martial arts class. I said I'd been there before.

I was in a really interesting conversation on the phone with my boyfriend and as soon as he switched topic of what to talk about, I spaced out. I still have absolutely no clue what he said, but he was apparantly happy to finally talk about something other than all of this. He asked what I thought of it all and I just responded "yep". I'm gonna be bummin if he asks me about anything that he talked about when I see him later

I was travelling home by train from work two nights ago, and got stranded at a station, so now I'm going to be so late home. When other trains on another platform went past, the more stressed I got, the more the noise made me anxious and the more I could not stand it. After 20 minuets I had to cover my ears so as not to go into a meltdown each time a train went through the station.

My meltdown last night, I guess, when my laptop wouldn't connect to the net and I was still talking to my friend.
I went from almost calm to scale 10 on the Richter scale rage, with head punching and hitting things and cursing.

For me it would be taking the train back from work on Friday. It was really crowded so I had to take whatever seat was left (I have a health problem that means I collapse if I stand for more than a few minutes).

I was sat next to a guy who was watching a programme containing men. He seemed to be stroking a certain area of his body. At first I thought I must just be imagining it, or maybe he had a itch or something.

After a while, it became apparent that he really was doing what I thought he was doing and not just scratching an itch. He then started making noises!

I panicked. I got up and tried to find the train guard. I had a complete panic attack and kept asking other passengers if they'd seen the guard but they hadn't and I was shaking by this time and people were laughing at me.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise an autistic person having a panic attack was supposed to be funny.

I eventually found the guard. No seats were available so I just sat on the floor.

I phoned the rail company and complained, but I doubt they'll do anything.

Plus you can only act on what you know. Yes. Peoples problems can be annoying, you don't know how to act or realte. So what? Isn't it worse to say you know when you don't?

Here's an edited version of something I previously posted about last weekend. I think it responds to the thread:

I was with my wife and children at a hotel with a buffet dining room last weekend. All that the "servers" have to do is to bring you soft drinks and coffee and pick up your dirty dishes so they don't clutter the table while you get more food. Usually they do this really well.

But Saturday evening, our server was a young man who wasn't picking up the dishes at all. They were just piling up. I asked him about it once and he picked up a few, but, then, didn't follow up. I mentioned it again, and he said, "Just let me know." I said that "I shouldn't have to." Normally, the servers very efficiently keep the tables clear for you.

Then, I said, "Look, brining out drinks and picking up the dishes is pretty much the whole job, isn't it?" After that, he became too good at it, going from table to table trying to take dishes that people were eating from.

I later told my wife what I said, and she told me that sometimes I really say things that are hurtful. I hadn't meant to be. I didn't know how else to explain the situation to him.

By the way,. reagarding the man on the train...your panic attack was certainly less inappropriate than the actions of the man you had sat next to.
