That's because you live in Australia, and Joe90--who said not to eat while walking--lives in Great Britain. Manners are different in different countries.

I am aware of that.

Why is it inappropriate to lie down in public?


Its often dirty and your probably in the way of people walking around

Cause people think your purposely blowing them off. They think your being rude.

Why is it inappropriate to sit outside waiting for a staff person to show up? (Someone called the police on me.)


Idk? I dont see why thats inappropriete

Quote:
Why is it inappropriate to take a walk looking the way I look? (People used to call the cops all the time when I could walk around out there.)


Perhaps your unhygenic, dressed inapproprietly. You have a give a description of how you look. Btw...whats up with u and people calling the cops on u??

Quote:
Why is it inappropriate to burp or fart (and how the heck do people anticipate and control these involuntary bodily functions!?)?


Because people fine it disgusting and it often stinks. So people normally hold it in, but yeah when u have a bad digestive system its harder to hold it in.

Why is it inappropriate to "stim"?


Its distracting to others probably, in general people just think its weird. I dont fully know the reason??

Quote:
Why is it inappropriate to be really happy and look really happy? (I once got in trouble with my psychologist when he took me out to buy a fish and I did a happy dance when we were looking at the fish and he lectured me constantly for days on "inappropriate displays of emotion".)


Same thing...its distracting to other people.

Quote:
Why is it inappropriate, as far as I can tell, to just fricking exist as an autistic and otherwise disabled person, around other people!?


Err thats not an easily answerable question...it can be heavily debated upon.

Why is it inappropriate to call someone old? To me, old is a compliment. Older people usually have more wisdom and so much more history to talk about.


Because people think that if they're old, that means they're unattractive.

Why is it inappropriate to ask an adult, "Could you please stop doing that? It's a little annoying."?

Why is it inappropriate to go outside naked on a hot day? If only a few other people did it, I would follow along. I would only fear what people would think if I happen to get a boner.

Why is it inappropriate to not wear a suit to business meetings/functions?? I don't understand the point of creating these images of ourselves to appear professional. It is all one big illusion I feel like, people seem to need to create certain images and auras to give off the vibe of certain feelings such a professionalism and what not, I don't get it though. I also don't understand being formal, what is the point?? Why do we have to fake things? Why is it inappropriate to not want to shake hands? There are so many of these social rituals that I don't get the point of it drives me crazy!

Yeah I know eh? Whatever happened to "don't judge a book by its cover"? Someone who wears baggy pants and wears a hat at a 45 degree angle may be more qualified than someone who dresses up nicely and gels his hair. Its entirely possible.

Why is it "inappropriate" to disagree with what is being said?

I have never understood why people expect you to either agree or say nothing. If I also have a strong view on something that is being said, I'm not going to lie just so the speaker feels good.

I think the idea is that, when people state an opinion, most of the time they just want to be agreed with and are not looking to start a discussion. They don't want to hear about why their opinion might be wrong or why their viewpoint might be flawed. They are just looking for support.

I never understood it much myself, but I think that's the gist of it.

That's what my husband said too, I've gotten MUCH better at this now. I still don't GET it, but I pretend :wink:

Why is it inappropriate to repeat the same statement more than once even if you're excited about what you said?

Why is it "inappropriate" to talk openly about your autism and how well your counseling and/or other therapy is going? And why can't the very people who say it's inappropriate explain why, seeing as they're so damn sure? It's hilarious and infuriating at the same time! Hilarious because they don't have a clue why they're in such a tizzy over a harmless act of communication/self-advocacy, and infuriating because they whine about it and try to control you instead of looking at the situation logically and realising that nobody at all has been hurt... Must be a type of jealousy? Hmmm...
