| Your Aunt is being a bit controlling but she might not realise what she is doing. Initially you need to be assertive and say I appreciate your offer of help, but I like to do (task, organizing it) myself. Just repeatedly say something like that. Maybe say oh but you can help me with one task in part... |

If you keep to yourself for a while, then the other neighbours will hopefully work out what sort of a person Michael is. |

No No No
Just avoid him, I think any contact with anyone involved at the moment, you are just going to cause the situation to continue.
There is no "just saying hello" because that opens the door to further conversation with Michael. |

| To keep the peace I would remove him and just email him via Facebook as to why, and you can always add him back in later. Just tell him the removal doesn't actually mean anything. I have an ex that I added in but it was bugging me, that he would know too much about me, so I removed him but we still ... |

It's a generalised statement or saying.
I have heard that one before, it doesn't have anything to do with Asperger's. |

| Catster, you have to stand up for yourself. I was in a situation where I had become too friendly with a neighbour, and she had a crush on me!! ! lol The problem was she clearly had a lot of mental health problems, as well she was an alcoholic. Back to you, you need to create both physical and mental... |

| Who is wrong here? I have been living with my mother for 3 years. She likes to remind all the time to do things. She views this as friendly communicaton. I can't stand it. I am 38 years old and don't like to be constantly reminded to do things. When I snap at her for constantly reminding me to do t... |

| There is a difference between traits vs The actual diagnostic criteria (ie the triad of impairments), and I think that is what is overlooked. I have finally realised, I don't fit the criteria for Asperger's or the future Autism Spectrum Disorder, maybe I might have as a small child, I don't really k... |

| My parents often treat me almost like that. But I don't live with them anymore, and I'm too old for the way they are behaving towards me. The only way to deal with your Dad like that, is to tell him, that he is right all the time, even if he is horribly wrong. But then he might also think your being... |

| Same here. another annoying comment is when you are sitting at someone else's desk and someone says "Hi (insert name of the person whose desk it is)" Is that meant to be funny? The humour or context is that the person is usually quite different from the other person, not always though. For example ... |

When things like this happen to me, I think of it as that it reflects on what kind of people they are, rather than the person I am.
That is mean not coming to your place. |
