My father was a book binder so when I was little I always had paper back books laying around I would read sci-fi and fantasy books just about every other week. I was reading at a higher level then the rest of the class. Everytime they made everyone read infront of the class I was always getting in trouble for giggling and snickering at the kids who were slow readers. I remember saying stuff like come on its reading and grammer not algrbra. I wonder how many kids hated reading because of me.

I remember a boy in my class when I was 11 and he had something. He had a disability and you could tell just by the way he looked and he couldn't talk to he had this card with him with letters and he could communicate that way by pointing to the letters by spelling them out and hitting the space key. He also couldn't write so he used a laptop to do his school work on. He had normal intelligence but he had difficulty with his muscles so he was unable to speak and write and he wore supporters around his ankles. But one day my whole class was handed a piece of paper to read out of a Dr. Suess book. We each took turns reading what we had in our hands and when his turn came, I would laugh because he sounded funny when he read it because you couldn't understand him and I couldn't hold my laughter in.

You might be putting up an offensive verbal shield to help repel people. I know what you are talking about with the gross of insensitive conversations. I believe I told the messed up stories to make people stay away from me.


My brother puts up this "shield" all the time, but I think it's a bit different to Tequila's situation. Rather, my brother puts up the sheild in order to disguise the fact that he's emotionally sensitive himself. He repels people so they don't hurt him.

I open my mouth and say offensive things without realising it. About people, to their faces. I make insulting comments about people's girlfriends and suchlike. It's worse when I've had a beer or two but it happens a lot when I'm sober too. I think I'm being witty, but apparently I'm not. It's like I've got a self-destruct button and I think it's going to land me in serious trouble over time.

Any help? :)


That explains your contributions to the joke thread :P

As I think others have said, it's probably because of Asperger's. The trait of not knowing what's appropriate just happens to be prominent in your case.
