My mom hates WP

Post Reply New Topic

Sorry to say this but thats really sick in so many ways... Its not about being on a different planet, its about how hard you life can be with aspergers syndrome and she doesn't have a freaking clue what she's talking about... Sounds a little like my mother, makes me mad if i even think about it.

Part of the reason we have this site is because of NTs demanding that we conform to their way of thinking. "Why can't you all just act like normal human beings?" Typical oppressive NT.

I want to deal with things on my own and be completely independent, but I get so much god damn support because of people like her, blowing this whole 'aspergers' thing out of proportion!
I ask people NOT to help me but they say "Oh, well its my job and you have aspergers."

Ignorant people like your mom are the people who cause the problems that they are whining about!
Just tell her to SHUT UP and let us deal with it ourself.
God.

I don't know how to take ANYTHING with a grain of salt. I'm too thin-skinned. I'm not a cynic or skeptic.

That is, when I'm sober or clean.

Fickle Pickle, as a parent, I feel inclined to ask what LED to this conversation. What she said seems reactive, so something must have happened to spark it.

There are a number of possibilities; ranging from spending too much time on-line to defying her using claims that "someone on WP said X" - or none of the above, of course; and I can't really guess which it might be, so instead of focusing on her negative reaction, I am asking you to focus on what is likely to have caused it.

That tells me quite a bit.

It is difficult for a parent to pinpoint who in a child's circle is the negative influence that is contributing to the habits. While I realize it is possible you are self-medicating because you find your parents unbearable, your parents are not going to grab at that as a possibility, for the obvious reasons. They are going to assume that somewhere in your social circle - outside of the immediate family - you are being enabled. Hence, they will work to rid you of that social circle. Given that discovering the real source could be impossible, they will make assumptions and pick and choose.

I hope that you are working with a qualified professional to get past these issues with addiction. That same professional would be the proper person to discuss your parent's feelings about your activities with.

Hey Fickle_Pickle.

My husband believes that all the people I speak with online are crazy, or dangerous criminals, or both. However, he is okay with my continuing interaction with them/you, so long as they/you remain pixels on my computer screen, and nothing more.

Yeah, parents will blame their kids' problems on the people they hang out with... they forget that NT kids pick up habits insanely easily, especially if they're already vulnerable; Aspies not so much... we develop our own bad habits! Hehe:P

It's ok to attack opinions, right? Just not people.

In that case, the OP's mother's opinion is the biggest moron I've met this week, including all the idiots on Yahoo Answers.

Call your mom to the computer and let's all have a nice chat. She'll change her mind then, I'm sure.

Lemme guess ... she loves our previous president, thinks all Americans should buy only American-made products, and hates the very idea that there are parking spaces dedicated for the sole use of people with handicaps.

Am I right?

Am I the only one who's beginning to think there is something fishy about this thread?

I don't care what the OP said about us. I'm going to keep posting here. This site is where autism really speaks!

YEP, that IS funny! If I wanted to prey on anyone, I could be more local about it! But naw, I wouldn't do that. After some current relationships, I am thankful I never got married, etc....

no, you are not. I was commenting before we might be being punk'd.
