| My step-mom recently told me that I need to go out and socialize more whenever I have the opportunity. She said that I hardly interact with anyone at work, which is totally not true. I work an 8-hour job and always talk with people for those 8 hours. It's part of my job. Where does she get off telli... |

| As a parent of and as an Aspie - Do the girls want to socialize? If so, yes, by all means set up situations in which they can do so for short period of time with a lot of structure. If it's that YOU want them to socialize, and they have no interest, please do not push them into that kind of hell. I... |

Also, did she laugh when she saw the amount? No, she didn't laugh. |

| Does the money come from your parents? If so, they have the right to snoop into your check book. Also, even if the money is yours, if they are paying for your car or college bills, they have some right to know how you are spending your money while they are supporting you, as you shouldn't be living... |

| It's an invasion of privacy. If it's rude to ask someone how much money they have, then it's rude to look at another person's checkbook. My money is none of her business. My mom is making it harder for me to trust her. |

It's annoying that my mom is always asking me what's wrong when there's nothing wrong. I just always look like I'm upset and it gets annoying when people tell me to smile.
Any fellow aspies here have a natural frown? |

| They never have and they probably never will. The funny thing is that they expect me to act like an adult but treat me like a child. Of course, there's also the classic "If you wanted to be treated like an adult, you have to act like an adult." But treating your child like a child will only encourag... |
