405. give them conflicting or ambiguous instructions and then when they are anxious about how to get the job done properly, accuse them of not wanting to get the job done

406. when it is undeniable that they are doing a great job, complain that they are making other people look bad

407. throw them a surprise birthday party

Probably has been covered, but I'll post:

409. Tell them that they don't really have it, they look and behave ok.
410. Refuse to be on their side, call them lazy, and put pressure on them when they are having difficulties in getting a job, life, or whatever else.
411. Tell them not to self-diagnose.
412. Tell them not to label themselves because it is self-limiting.
413. Barge in on their alone time.
414. Shout at them from a car and or deliberately drive through a large puddle when they are on the sidewalk, resulting in a huge spray of water landing on them. (happened to me)
415. Tell them their special interests are obsessive or stupid. (happened to me as well)

415) Don't help them move forward in life such as not helping them get a job and then accuse them of being lazy and not even trying

417) If your daughter has Asperger's and can be somewhat slovenly with tidying her room, you may wish to do this for her. Take no notice when she starts turning purple and pulling her hair out upon finding that you've touched all her belongings and moved it all around and touched all her belongings, which you've touched. She'll get over it; after all, she'll grow up and stop having such silly tantrums.

418) You may know an aspie who likes to be helpful and frequently helps you with things such as household chores or small tasks. You'll be flattered, and you'll love that she's just so helpful. Tell her she really doesn't have to. Next time you start doing something and she simply sits and watches you, get really annoyed that she hasn't jumped up to help.

419) Perhaps you are a teacher. One of your students confesses a debilitating fear of face-to-face testing situations, such as her upcoming French oral exam. Tell her that if she does not attend, she will fail the entire qualification.

420) Whenever you meet one of these so-called 'aspies,' make sure you let them know that it's just an excuse. They're lazy and stupid, and if they just got up and talked to people more or tried harder, they'd be absolutely fine. It's best to end this one by throwing your hands up in the air and walking off in a huff - not that they need it to be this obvious, of course. They could read emotions if they just tried.

421) Take her to the supermarket with you and devise a plan to save time - you will go to the bread section for a white loaf and some buns, she will go to the fresh produce section for leeks and apples, and you'll meet by the promotional stand in the middle when you're both done. Tell her you'll be there when she gets back, and she'll be able to see you anyway. Pick up three wholemeal loaves and two packs of Belgian waffles, then wander off to the bath and shampoo section while she paces up and down the central aisle flicking her head back and forth trying to catch any sight of you and wondering where in feck you've gone.

422) Take her to the express supermarket with you on your way home because you just need some milk. Walk up to the discount section. Pick up 2 packs of chicken breast, a salad bowl and some white sauce. Take a bottle of Dr Pepper from the drinks stand. Look at the magazines. Take a packet of crisps. Go to the onions, then remember you need carrots and walk all the way back round for carrots. Walk back around the stand for onions and pick some up. See a box of chocolates that looks interesting and go further into the shop for it. Realise you are carrying a huge bundle and say you need a basket. Have her wait there while you go all the way back to the door for a basket. Then come into the store via a different route so that she has no idea where you are. Make it generally clear that if you'd planned it out, you would have this all finished much quicker.

423) Place her apples in the fruit bowl.

424) Place your bananas on her apples in the fruit bowl.

425) Get angry at her when she refuses to eat the apples even though YOU put the bananas on the apples in the fruit bowl.

426) Give her a written task to do quickly, but talk to her as she does so. Get annoyed with her when she appears to be ignoring you and wave your hand in her face, and regain her attention. Keep talking. Ask why she hasn't finished it already.

427) Send her messages about you're daily life and what your doing. Talk about the place's you went and what you did their. Mention some people you met and how you got there phone number's.

428) Laugh as she implodes at your abhorred grammar.

429) She doesn't get on well with people... she gets easily confused... she hates physical contact... this must be so hard for her. Give her a hug.

430) Tell her you're going now, and you'll see her again sometime next week maybe. Hang around for another 10 minutes. Make sure she can't leave either. Tell her you're actually going now, but you'll see her at the weekend like you said, and you'll call this evening. Don't bother clarifying whether you meant the week maybe or the weekend definitely. Wait until tomorrow to call. Spend the week chilling in bed with movies and expect her to come see you on a whim the week after that instead.

434)Tell them there are no wrong answers and then tell them they aren't correct

435) Ask them a question and tell them there is no right answer and then get mad at them when you don't like their answer

436) Tell them to look at you and then keep telling them to look at you after they have looked at you and then looked away

437) Accuse them of being a bad parent just because they do it differently than others

438) Tell them that their kid is going to hate them when they grow up

439) Tell them they are going to be a bad parent

440) Tell them you're leaving and to get ready and then get mad at them for waiting out in the car because you were looking for them

441. When the aspie starts acting more autistic for whatever reason, suggest to her that this is a sign of histrionic personality disorder.

442) Keep asking an aspie if they think you're stupid and when they say no, keep telling them you are until they finally agree that you are (based on an opinion you have that is different than theirs) and then get upset. (My ex did this, so I decided to tell him that he is based on his ignorant thought on something and boy did it put him to tears :roll: )

444) Say something vague and confusing and then refuse to explain what you mean when they ask you to clarify. Get irritated at them for not understanding it or being confused about it. Grumpily tell them that they know exactly what you mean.

445) When you're together somewhere, make yourself disappear without a word when they turn around for a moment. Go somewhere completely different where it will take them ages to find you and wait for them there, preferraly moving between a few places while you wait. When they finally find you after searching for you all over the place, act annoyed, tell them you've been waiting for them for age and ask them what took them so long.

446) Get them really excited about something and make sure they really look forward to it. Then change the plans at the last minute and cancel the part of the plans that they were really looking forward to and replace it with something that they find dreadful.

Call them with this one thing on your mind. The price of kitty litter at one store as opposed to another. Not kidding.


I believe. I believe. I used to visit my gran who would spend the entire visit comparing the price of sliced ham from one shop to another. It used to melt my brain.


My boyfriend frustrates me with this scenario on a regular basis and fails to understand that it will always annoy me and I'm beyond trying to explain the reasons.

Be it the price of catfood, gas, food items, it's just annoying. Inflation happens people. Get used to it. :)

448) Make plans and say what time you are leaving, that time comes, don't leave and slack off instead.

449) Tell them "nevermind" when they don't understand something

450) Before going in the store, tell them you are getting (insert item here) and come back out with other items too

451) Tell them you are going to (insert store here) and go to that store but instead go somewhere else too

452) When an aspie makes plans to go somewhere and he has to be there at a certain time, when that time comes, slack off and slow the aspie down by not getting ready and having to do certain things before leaving and when they start having a meltdown, slow down even more
