4 kinds of Aspie Bug bites

I wish!

Of course, in the case of Chavs however.................well they generally stay the same forever, shouting "Goffick!" or "freak!" out their car windows etc.

You'd also be surprised how much the people who picked on you at school change in adulthood. Nearly everyone I hated is a lovely person now.......Its just schools one big cruel arms race to be at the top of the pecking order.........you have to fight and stand on people if you don't wanna be the one getting kicked at the bottom of the tree........You're either Cool or you're Screwed.........no middle ground. It sucks.

Those who've probably grown out of it are long gone, but the entrenched bullies are never ending!

I wish that WEREN'T so true. I'm always told "you bring out the worst in everyone" (but of coarse nobody ever tells me why. They just say, "you’re so.... AAAAAHHHHHH" or something like that.)

Too bad mo one is hiring. Guess I gotta eat all this shiit gratis!

I read this and wept, Bugs. It perfectly explains so much of the horrible stuff that has happened in my life. Thank you for this brilliant little piece. And who says we don't have feelings? We do.

I have a mild case, but I lack some of the subtleties of social cueing, no matter how hard I try. It is obvious, if you are with me for more than an hour, that I am not NT. I am "different." Or as one woman said, just before she led the successful charge to eliminate me from a group of friends, "You and your husband (also an Aspie, if there ever was one) are so exotic."

There are abusive mean people out there. I also have been cut from many social situations, often by a newcomer or by someone who takes an active dislike to my nerdishness. Or, by myself, I am marginally acceptable, but with my husband, we are just too much to take.

I also showed this to my husband (also an Aspie, for sure) and he read it and wept, too. Cut out and left out, for life. It makes employment difficult, too.

Again, thanks.

Even if it's Amelie?

"(to you) "Hey... me, Jake, Ted, and Artie are going to the Beagle Cinema tonight to catch "Star Battles: Refresh of the Gith". Would you like to join us?"

(to someone else, possibly still within earshot) "Hey Jake! Did you pre-order tonight's movie tickets on your Blueberry?"

The first scenario is a Category 0; the second a Cat 1."

(this is a quote in case no one realizes. For some reason it's disabled.)

Uhhh, question. Why is that, the second example given, a category 1? I don't understand...

My marching band director said that about me once. If anyone else had said it, I would've known what they meant, but because my marching band director said it, I wasn't sure what he meant by it. I don't know if he meant that I was my own person, or if I was out of step. Or possibly both. I don't think he meant that I was out of step, though; at the beginning of band, I was one of the only people in step.
