other aspis are too square

Post Reply New Topic

sometimes i notice i cant always get along with felow aspies because of this adherance to rules and such (i am a bit of a trouble lover) which i s why i dont see uch of my aspie friends

I don't get along with a lot of different people Aspies or NTs. I don't have a lot of Aspie friends but the ones on my part of the spectrum I do get along with a little bit better. It is hard with other Aspies because some aren't into what your into and some are a lot less mature.

I sort of have that problem often with the younger aspies- waaaay too standoffish and immature. All they wanna do is play Kingdom Hearts. I feel more comfortable with the 35 and older crowd.

Why would you want to get in trouble?

To quote James Bond, I have no friends...

it's hip to be square...!

When i was growing up i always used to see every teenager in the known world rebelling and i figured the only way you could really rebel was to not rebel. Rebelling as a kid is so over done. Haha, also though, i was around such naughty kids that i'd have to be pretty hardcore to ever stand a chance of standing out. I was a good kid by anyones standards, by the standards of the people i was around i was an angel. Scarily so, i dont think anyone with a normal life could fully appreciate how hard i tried, most of the people i grew up around are drug dealers now, almost every 1.

I'm square but i know how to break the rules. I do think a lot of aspies on here are a little too square, i think that when you're an aspie learning how to break the rules and break your routines is important in life and anyone not learning that lesson is going to live a very restrictive life.

i have add as well and i think it shows more in my personality than my burgers... i dont like to get punished or hurt anyone but i don't like following rules

Aspie traits:

- Doesn't like change
- Like structured situations (doesn't do well in unstructured social situations)
- Intense interest in a few things
- Socially and physically awkward
- Aloof

Square? Yes.

Hmm, well I guess it depends, I mean I used to attend a group get together with other aspies at a support centre and I easily ended up very bored with it, some people I really enjoyed but some just down right irritated me.

Also at an anime club that I attend every so often there are a few aspies there, one always goes on about his interests, no matter what you say, he'll literally just go on for ages, even if you say you have no interest repeatedly throughout, also really lacks any form of hygiene, he irritates the hell out of me - let alone the smell of being around him.

There's another girl who can do the same kind of thing of going off on a tangent about her interests, but she definitely will pick up to give up talking when you make it VERY clear that you're not interest, naturally in a polite way but she's a very loyal friend to those who look out for her and very sweet.

The other guy aspie who goes is an awesome guy, although we don't share all the exact same interests we get on like a house on fire. We hang out on a regular basis and we're really good friends.

At the end of the day it seems silly to generalize something like this as there's all sorts of variations and degrees of autism, as well as what the people like themselves. It's almost like generalizing to saying how do you get on with a certain race. Don't forget even though we may (for the majority on this forum) have autism, we're still all individual people : )

I've never really met anyone with Asperger's who I've enjoyed. To be completely honest most other Aspie's tend to just be grating to me. I honestly wonder if I was misdiagnosed as a child. I've never been one for following rules, I was always that kid who enjoyed acting out and causing trouble. My idea of fun is going out and going to a party not reading magna or playing video games all day. I never really had a "special" interest that I would obsess about and only talk about that. I tend to get along better with ADD, sociopathic and bipolar types then others with Aspergers.
