The married shorter guys are probably more normal and less annoying than short aspies.
Why are short aspie men annoying? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones you know.
We're mostly mute, introvert and respect peoples boundaries of privacy and decency.
I hate these media-promulgated lies that aspie men are annoying, have no moral compass, don't know right from wrong, lack empathy, are criminally inclined etc etc etc etc etc
. Bollocks.
Oh I know I'm annoying. I'm the quiet type too, but I'm not quite right. I can see it in photographs.
I've started doing Pilates and it's correcting my posture. I'm actually amazed. I'm not so scrunched up.
I'm an aspie too so I'm not going to be referring to the media stereotypes.
Us quiet ones look like we aren't open and don't want to be approached. Now I don't know why, but i do know it is a thing. Maybe it's the anxious scrunched up body language.
Much as I appreciate a term such as "media-promulgated" if we talk like that in general conversation it accentuates our weirdness. It's unfair. We try our best to be good and polite and respectful and we enjoy using good words to convey what we mean. But most people aren't like that.
It makes us look uptight.
I was feeling down so my friend thought it would cheer me up to be told I'm perfect like Mary Poppins.
I don't want to be perfect and straight laced, but i can't seem to shake that image. I'm too precise in the way I talk.
