How to rid yourself of your annoying autism spectrum friend

Post Reply New Topic

This is complete sarcasm. I'm working through some s**t and it help me to share.
Perhaps some others dealing with childhood trauma will find some peace with this...

I know there are some people out there in the world who are annoyed from having to deal with their annoying friends and family who are on the autism spectrum so here's a list of things you can say to them so that they'll go away and not annoy you anymore.
* I don't understand why you hold on to things so much. I just let them go.
* Why do you overthink everything?
* I don't understand at all what you're going through, but I'm here for you if you need. (This is most effectively applied when this person tries really hard to explain and help you understand something. It's very powerful to let them know you aren't even interested in trying.)

I have a couple special pointers for parents
* Send your kid to his/her room every time they are upset. If you can teach them to bottle up their feelings, you won't have to deal with it and you can let a therapist take this on decades later.
* Beat the autism right out of them. If you're willing, get some humiliation in there too. Make them feel just like the dog that they see you kicking all of the time.

Sending peace and love to all of you with sh***y parents and family!

There are some sayings like "you can't get blood out of a stone" or "you can't beat a dead horse" that illustrate the difficulty of having to deal with the limitations of others. It would be nice if everyone we knew was considerate, kind, and understanding.

When it is our parents who fall short in helping us learn and develop, it can be doubly disappointing. Since it is unlikely that the limitations of others will change much, we are left to carve out for ourselves a life that minimizes the frustration that arises from optimistic expectations and begins to explore relationships that can be more satisfying.

If the limitations of parents left us deficient in some areas, we need to consider how to compensate, correct, or repair what we can.

Life is too short to spend much time in resentment. It is more beneficial to move on to associations that provide less frustration. With family connections, it can be good to invest a minimal amount of effort to maintain cordial relations. However, expecting people to be able to function beyond their limitations will only cause frustration.

• "Cheer up!"

• "Stop whining!"

• "Stop rocking!"

• "Stop scratching!"

I also have some special pointers just for parents; repeat these two phrases often to teach your child you wish he was not who he is:

• "Why can't you behave like normal kids?"

• "Why can't you be more like your brother?"

And when company is coming over, make sure your child knows just how ashamed you are of him:

• "Mommy and daddy are having some important people over. We want you to stay in your room."

• "Mommy and daddy are having some important people over. We want you to stay over at your cousin's."

While fate or whatever scocked me with autism, at last I have decent parents and never had to deal with that kind of shite.

Mock, get annoyed with, and discipline your kid for behaviors she can’t help (anxiety attacks, meltdowns, etc.) or that is soothing (stimming). Expect behavior that a kid isn’t developmentally ready for and discipline if the kid doesn’t live up to that expectation. (If you decide to have kids, why wouldn’t you read up on child development?)

When she’s having an anxiety attack say: “God, I don’t know how to deal with her when she’s like this!”

Say to your kid that you don’t get it because you had it so much easier.

Insist that it’s your way or the highway. (She still does this)

Imply that the child is bad or difficult when you don’t understand him or her. My mom recently implied that I probably had ODD as a kid. Oddly, I behaved very well for everyone but her. Hmm... I wonder who the real problem person was...

Tell your kid that she’s bad, wrong, rebellious, difficult, a problem child...

Say that she’s bad at math when you suck at teaching it. I was a math tutor in college once I was finally taught some math properly.

(Imply that it makes sense that she’s bad at math because she’s a girl)

I don't understand the tone of this thread. For most Aspies, they would be thrilled to have a friend or two and not drive them away. It almost looks like an attack on Aspies and those on the Spectrum.

O.K. you said:


I'm just not feeling the sarcasm.

He’s referring to the things he had to deal with when he was growing up, especially inept parenting methods.

He’s sarcastic because those are obviously things that one shouldn’t do and that shouldn’t have been done to him.

I was sent to my room every time I was upset and I ended up bottling up my emotions. My parents made a lot of mistakes with me. I've decided to forgive my parents and leave my past behind me. I was never beaten, thank God. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Thank you. Family still says things like this.
They attempted to "violence" the autism out of me and the level of masking I had to create over my life to survive is an incredible amount of work to unravel.
Dry sarcasm is how I vent and relieve myself of anger.
