My parents have p****d me off

Post Reply New Topic

OK, FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME, MY PARENTS KNOW THAT I DO NOT LIKE THINGS TOUCHING ME.

MY DAD WALKS IN, TICKLES ME, BUT HE KNOWS I HATE IT. SO THEN I TELL HIM TO STOP, BUT HE DOES IT AGAIN. THEN, MY MOTHER GETS REALLY DAMN F*****G ANNOYED, AND DECIDES TO MAKE ME SHUT UP. I SAY TO MY MOTHER, "MOM, YOU KNOW THAT I HATE THINGS TOUCHING ME". SHE SLAMS MY LAPTOP DOWN, BREAKS A SMALL PORTION OF KEYS, AND ASKS ME TO STOP. SHE THEN REINFORCES HOW MOODY I AM, YET SHE IS THE ONE WHO MADE ME MOODY.

What do you intend to do about the situation?

What do you want us to do?

Well, it sure is painful to grow up insisting that no one touches you. Eventually, you may end up finding that you will want people to touch you or comfort you, but they won't. I had to learn that how I appear to others is how they will describe me.
You might not like what I said, but I could have been far more direct and honest with you. I also don't really understand what it is you would like to do about your situation.

In reply to Fnord's comment, he knows that I am unable to teach my parents about my aspects of autism personally (he commented on my other post), since they become so f***king dumb and ignorant

In reply to your reply, I re-iterate my questions: What do you intend to do about your situation, and what do you want us to do?

Fnord, knock it off - it's the haven . You sometimes seem to have the personability of a pocket calculator.

Poster is allowed to let off steam.

OP, it must be a pain if you don't like being touched. I hope you feel better now.

Looks to me as if your problem has more to do with adolescence than autism.

From what I can read and it seems clearly obvious, they seem to have a very little understanding of why it bothers you.
I may not understand fully on this either since I'm not really sensitive in that sense but I do know that the sensory in some areas tend to overload and in your case, it happens to be touch. If it is something that happens repeatedly, day by day, then I could partially see why it would annoy her as you have noted on your post.

May I ask why does your dad do that?

Do your parents even know about your condition?
