1. Why don't you date?

"The voices in my head tell me not to."

2. You only have one child?

"No his two clones are at home rewiring the house and building my jet car."

3. Do you work?

"Nope I planted a money tree in the back yard and I lay on the sofa all day eating bon-bons while my elves do the cleaning."

4. Why aren't you married?

"I was, I learn from my mistakes."

**Did you ever notice that 98% of the people that ask you these dumb questions already KNOW the answers?

"What sort of music do you listen to?"

Its a universal norm that everybody likes listening to some form of music. I usually don't.

The two questions I hate are "what's up" and "how's it hanging". I don't really know how to answer these questions, especially the latter, that one is completely confusing to me.

You're not alone. I'm not much of a music fan either, and when I DO like music, it's considered either bad, weird or completely unknown to most people. So yes, I hate that question too. I usually respond with "nothing you've heard of" but some people respond by going though every band they know... which just drives me crazy.

I hate that too. I usually just end up answering with an awkward "fine" or "well". Maybe I should be answering in some kind of crazy slang phrase, because I think a lot of people end up thinking I'm stuck up.

I don't like "Where do you work?" "What do you do?" and other variations on that.

Yeah, that sounds irritating.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

How about these:

Are you READY FOR CHRISTMAS?

Why are you so quiet all the time?

Why so serious?

What do you mean, you don't like (fill in the blank?) Everybody likes that!

:evil:

Gross.

Questions I don't like:

"Wanna know what I'm thinking?"

"Why do you talk funny?"

"Doesn't that mean you're ret*d?"

"Why do you wear headphones all the time?"

"How does my hair look?"

"You're MARRIED?" (and, the inevitable next bit: "Did he knock you up?")

GARRR....

"What are you thinking about?"
"Why are you so quiet?"
"Internet school? Is that the same thing as being homeschooled?" I hate giving the answer to this one because I never know how to phrase it without making it sound like I'm homeschooled.
"Why don't you want to go back to a regular school?" My dad always seems to ask me something like this every time I go to visit him. It annoys me the most because it feels like he's pressuring me into going back to my old school.

i hate when people ask me why i don't have a girlfriend, its usually a few of my uncles who ask this, most people are smart enough to just leave me be about that. one of them has even gone so far as to say "waddaya gay or somethin?!"

im not necessarily gay, but i'd really like to see their reactions if i actually did bring home a boyfriend.

Argh, yes. I so hate being asked that question. Like I'm supposed to have an answer to that.
