I hate this. My boss touched me on the elbow and I flinched. I think it upset her.

I f*****g hate that too. Getting tapped on the shoulder unexpectedly feels like getting punched in the face, to me. Why are NTs so damn touchy-feely? Don't they know about this thing called personal space?

They do it because between NT's, that's considered caring, friendship, closeness or something like that but they have no idea about people like us. They have no idea we hate physical contact - to be touched. The idea is foreign to them and they can't understand it. That's why it shocks them so much when we pull away! They take it as a personal rejection. They're strangers. Go figure!

Address Aspies by derogatory terms that you think we won't understand.

This is probably just a personal problem and not an "Asperger's problem", but I really hate it when someone seems to communicate entirely by overstating their emotions and opinions about everything.

I hate being asked in a concerned way if I've tried meditation/mindfulness.

Brainiacs like this: After watching (and being really unimpressed by) the movie Ben X, I checked out the discussion about it on IMDb. Someone asked "How do real asperger's feel about this movie" and one brainiac responded:

Quote:

I've been a psychotherapist for 19 years and I wonder if you really have it. It seems to be a fad to diagnose kids who are nervous and isolated with it.

I've met several people who really have it over the years and they're quite odd. I doubt that any of them would even think to get on the net and ask such a question.

OMG, so far removed from reality they know nothing at all about aspies. If there's anyone who is likely to go online to ask that question, it's us. *facepalm*
