Pretty much any scenario where a person or persons say they will do X but then they do Y, Z, n, will annoy me to distraction.

Seat them on an overheated bus in the full sun, full of screaming babies with the odd loose barking Pit Bull type dog running around and for good measure a smelly person sits next to you and won't stop talking.

Stand in their cubicle touching their monitors, talking too much, and telling them to click this/that when you're working...

I have a big problem with people saying something but meaning something else or people not being specific or clear enough for me to understand what they really mean or really want. Example: the other day I asked my boyfriend if he needed help with cooking dinner. He said he didn't really need help but that he wouldn't say no to some help but that it wouldn't really make things go quicker or anything. I just stared at him in confusion and frustration for a few seconds before telling him to please just tell me if he needs/wants help, yes or no.

I HATE it when people say one thing and mean another. can obsess over it for months later.

Imply that they are stupid. I think almost every Aspie and almost everyone on the Autism Spectrum has had the experience of people thinking they are stupid. Frequently, social awkwardness, missing of nonverbal cues, the tendency to take things literally and the tendency to believe people lead some people to assume that we are stupid. Now that is annoying.

When they ask for help on what to say to someone they just met answer by saying, "Read the person and respond to how they are acting," when you know that they have very little ability to read facial expressions and body language.

Tell them you'll pick them up in half an hour, then be ringing their doorbell in 10 minutes :evil:

Even worse when they get upset when the aspie doesn't come out right away because they weren't expecting them for another twenty minutes.

Change their routine without any sort of notice is also annoying...

Take their main special interest away and put them in the hospital, where they can get "help".

Another thing that annoys me, is when someone says that I don t have empathy.

Yea along with being presumed stupid - presumed not having feelings for others really burns me. I will agree that I myself and many people with an ASD probably can be a bit clueless at times at understanding other peoples' intentions - but if anything that is naïve - not a lack of empathy or feeling. If anything it is the opposite.

I hate being expected to be fluent in body language.

Be overtly nice to them and take it back when Aspies try to do the same in return.

Just move something around the house or mess with their routine. Drives me nuts!

Make any sort of assumption about me because I have an AS diagnosis (or for that matter due to gender, age or anything else. I'm an individual, not a walking stereotype).

I hate that too. Shortly after I graduated from HS, one of my HS teachers always acted like a d-bag towards me whenever we saw each other. He believed that just because I have AS, he believed that it was his right to treat people with AS like dirt.
