Talking to someone online I knew in group therapy when I was 12. Then he finally told me I repeat myself a lot and ask too many personal questions. I then didn't know what to talk about so we start talking about what I was doing and I find all these social rules confusing. I had also realize I read the social situation wrong in 2009.
Yeah that is why I had given up on people and talking to them and why I have social anxiety. I come off wrong to people.

One day when I was a teenager, I was thinking about a situation when I was about 4 years old and being very stubborn over something stupid (particularly, about a shirt I didn't want to wear.) The situation kept playing through my head (I still can recall it clearly!), so I decided to go up to my mom and apologize about it. She looked back at me, bewildered. She had no idea what I was talking about and asked if I was feeling okay. (At the time) I was shocked she didn't remember it! I've since had quite a few situations where I vividly remember things that my mom completely forgets (even very recent things.) I also now know I can attribute it, in part, to my AS. Oh well... |

That sounds like it was fun, at least until the teacher called on you. I've done similar things in the past many times, but somehow only got called on maybe one or two of those times. |

I have so many 'ASD moments' that i don't even remember them. Though i don't know yet if they aren't just caused by my low self-esteem.

| Being jealous that my mom got a new computer and I didn't, instead of being happy for her. I have always had trouble feeling happy for other people when good things happen to them. |

going to the hospital for a kidney stone and my husband being the last to know b/c he told me not to disturb him at work by me interrupting him so I had the babysitter pick up the kids and drop them off at the house while he was working at home. He asked her why and she said b/c kate is at the hospital high on morphine for the pain. Husband was mad and I told him I'd been in pain for 2 days.........
apparently I should have mentioned something?????? |

I caught myself quoting lines from cartoons while walking around out in our yard (in character, no less)...until I realized our neighbors were around.
Also...a "positives of AS" story... I'm growing green beans in our garden this summer. Instead of just sticking poles in the ground for the plants to grow up on, I constructed three pyramids out of bamboo stakes. But I didn't just stop there; each of the four legs consists of 2-4 bamboo stakes tied together in two places for additional strength. At the top, I tied the legs together in such a way to allow for the pyramids to move several inches from side to side, while still providing enough strength to keep the whole thing from falling over from the weight of the plants (that happened to me last year). I felt a little like a structural engineer.

Ah yes...this sort of thing happens to me every now and then. I remember being asked to take on a task while at a meeting, and I had no idea what they were asking me to do because I wasn't paying any attention--I was too preoccupied with something else. |

Yeah, when that happens, my initial thought is, "What do you mean you don't remember??"  |

That sounds fun!
Today I was riding in the car with my boyfriend when I suddenly realized I'd been dominating the conversation for the past five minutes by going on and on with pointless details about the field show I'd participating in for marching band eight years ago... (I also just realized that that was one big, run-on sentence. Oops.) I apologized to him for rambling, but he assured me that he didn't mind and that he likes hearing my voice...
... So I asked him if he ever zones out when I ramble like that.
He said, "No."
I told him to be honest, and asked again if he ever zones out.
He said, "Not usually."
I thanked him for his honesty. (This was not sarcasm. I literally told him, "Thank you.") |

| Well, I was sitting with my friends, one's a special ed teacher, and one's a speech therapist, and they were talking about a student with Aspergers and how they could tell, and I realized that I had been exhibiting those same "symptoms" just a few minutes earlier. |

Recently, I came to the realization that as a kid I had no theory of mind. And now that I do possess TOM, I realize people are constantly judging each other and forming biases and prejudices.
Is it an AS thing to not automatically judge or stereotype people?

Just like that. "I want to fence at least some of the yard. So I can just let the dog out, and I don't have to be within arm's reach of the kids all the time."
He got mad and said I was being nasty and demanding. I did sound tired and frustrated and wasn't careful to keep my voice sweet.
I think I was supposed to say something like, "Wouldn't a fence be nice??" or "Gee, Honey, I'd sure like to have a fence..." or talk about all the wonderful things a fence would give us. Like dropping hints or something.
All feminine about it. I gather that (or using sex manipulatively) is how NT chicks get guys to go for things they want.
No wonder women are catty and manipulative. I guess it's because it works better than being direct and straight-forward.
I don't know whether I hate AS, or hate having two X chromosomes. |
I have a nt wife and its the exact oppisit problem insted of saying this is what I want, its would this be nice or what do you think about so she might get the answer I dont like or want. If she said she wanted this or that I will try to make it happen. |

Having a meltdown and letting it play out over posts here on WrongPlanet. Maybe I should just stay away from message boards when I'm having emotional issues.  |

I've done the exact same thing!! Once my mother bought me sunglasses , I got irritated because I could still see the sun around the edges so I had a tantrum about wanting the same sunglasses as my father 's (this was late 70's so he had those glasses with wings of leather attached to the sides ) She did buy me the sunglasses but I could feel she was mad at me as we walked out of the shop and I felt all let down and grumpy , I took the sunglasses off and toyed with them until a temple snapped ....I felt sooo guilty!! I apologized at 29, my mother looked at me like I was some kind of alien and said "huh...yes I think I remember what you're talking about...that was the summer after you turned 2 years old and it was my fault for making you skip your nap "
