Teachers do that all the time to me, and I've just had to shut up and sit there saying nothing, looking like an idiot or a brat to the rest of the class.

Evven better...

339. At a camp, when everybody's lined up in front of the dining hall for breakfast at 7 a.m. in their groups, make them compete by singing really loudly, and whichever group's the loudest gets to go inside for food first.

This was the same camp that had the stupid buddy system. It was secure enough.


Not as bad as the camps I went to.

I went to this one where I asked them for a red pipe cleaner for a craft that we were going to be doing, and they said "We will see what we can do", then they gave me a pink one, and the person beside me got a red one and they didn't let me have it. Seriously, if I wasn't going to get a red pipe cleaner why didn't you just tell me?

I went to another one where they told me that I was "bound to make a friend by the end of the week" when everyone was already at camp with one of their siblings or friend so they probably wouldn't be interested in making new friends.

I went to another one that had no structure. Enough said.

I went to this other camp where everyone was allowed to do whatever they wanted except me. I had some restrictions. They forced me to watch a movie that I didn't really want to watch.

I went to a grade 4 camp in primary school just after being diagnosed as an aspie. I was only allowed at the camp through the day, I had to go home each night, and have my mum there with me when I was at the camp because I 'wouldn't be able to control myself as I was autistic'. P*ssed me off no end.

Make sure there is no food or bring it out only at random times. Don't worry about serving only bland or boring food because the aspie will eat if since there is absolutely nothing else to do. Make sure the DJ ignores any song requests from the aspie. Make sure whoever is hosting the party doesn't respond to any questions at all until the aspie has asked them at least five times, which is likely due to the fact that everyone is deaf from the music and feedback from the mic but only the aspie will complain because, as everyone knows, they are jerks. If the aspie has come without a date - and nearly all the time they don't - play lots of romantic slow dance music. Once in a while play music the aspie likes but no one else so he or she will be the only one dancing and look like a complete loser. Ignore any signs of boredom and/or restlessness the aspie is showing, like frequent wandering around the building or staring vacantly at decorations. Doing all this should make the aspie wonder why they came in the first place and then tell themselves it's because they would have been stuck in the apartment surfing the internet like they do do every other night, which is what only losers do. :roll:


I soooo relate to that. I have no idea if anyone in the room is actually enjoying themselves or just pretending to enjoy it to be polite.

I just drowned myself in alcohol until it all fades away. The more I drowned myself, the better I feel. This is an upward scale that doesn't end until I leave. I keep my composure pritty well for an extremely drunk person. I just try to move around alot. When I leave, stand still, or lay down, and everything gets quiet, I loose my cookies, and have a hang over for at least two days. Sometimes I see spots.

All is well.

Good old-fashioned double standards never grow old.
I must never interrupt someone who is doing (insert activity). If someone interrupts me when I’m (insert same activity), I must throw away whatever it is that I’m doing to pay complete attention to them.
If they’re angry it’s because they have the right to have a natural reaction to something, if I’m angry I need to grow up.
I talk about something that happened, and I’m just blowing things out of proportions. A near stranger says the same thing, it’s gospel.

I can’t stand being dragged out of hyperfocus.

Talk while I’m trying to watch something on TV or otherwise listen to something.

They smiled on adoringly. No limits set, no consequences. She is now 15, narcissistic, extremely demanding, totally insensitive to their feelings and drives them mad :)

Charming! :roll: I just love it when children are acting like spoilt brats in front of their parents without consequences. Manners and discipline seem to be things of the past (generalization).

500-ish) Clean your daughter's room. Throw away things that you decide she no longer wants or needs. Re-arrange all of her stuff. Watch her freak out. Make fun of her for freaking out. Pretend to be confused about why she is freaking out. Tell her off for moving her stuff out of the places that you have designated for her. Continue to do this for 12 years. Feign confusion when she freaks out EVERY...SINGLE...TIME.

501-ish) Make promises and never keep them. Yell at her for being pessimestic when she finally decides that you will never do anything that you say you will. Tell her to be positive. Tell her that you do NOT make promises and then break them! You merely CHANGE YOUR MIND AND THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! ! !

502-ish) Call her stupid and childish for becoming upset when you break yet another promise after she decides to be an optimist and believe you when you promise promise promise her that she can have that pet she's wanted for for EVER that is being offtered to her for free as a gift.

503-ish) Tell her that she is an adult when you want her to do something. Tell her that SHE IS THE CHILD when you do not want her to do something.

504-ish) Tell her that she is an adult and can do whatever she wants. Don't actually allow her to do ANYTHING that she wants because she lives under your roof and must obey your rules or move the f--k out!! ! ! Be sure that she is unemployed at the time. Belittle her for being unemployed when she has been job hunting and failing interviews for the past four years. Tell her that it is her fault that she fails interviews and to "stop being so f--king weird all the time!! ! !".

505-ish) Yell at her for not "having a life" and acting like a normal girl, then teenager, then young adult. Tell her to go out and LIVE. Thwart her every attempt to leave the house. Use any excuse you can think of. Guilt her. Tell her that it is stupid. Get angry because where she wants to go isnt a party or a club, but the book store. Or a skate park.

506-ish) Tell her not to waste all of her money on books and skateboards or whatever it is that she is trying to waste her money on. Tell her that she should buy clothes, shoes, a nice purse.

507-ish) SCREAM at her for asking you ONE F--KING QUESTION when you are on the phone, but be sure to ask her as many questions as you damn well please when she is on the phone. Get angry/sarcastic/laugh at her when she tells said person on the phone "hey, i will call you back later." or "I have to go." when she is unable to listen to you and the other person simultaniously.

508-ish) When she does something that you find odd, gaze at the heavens and exclaim, arms raised for dramatic effect, "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!".

509-ish) Yell at her about something. Get in her face while yelling. Tell her that she makes you sick. Five minutes later, be cheerful and talk to her as if nothing ever happened. Become offended when she does not wish to speak with her. Say "You don't want to talk to me? Ok, you wanna be like that? I can show you. Let's see if you want to talk when you get the hell out of my house."


WOW, that's harsh. I feel really sorry for you. I hope things have improved by now.

I detest this one. Gets me re-fired up every time. My mum does it to me all the time, as I regularly lose my temper and have massive meltdowns. I usually end up breaking a number of items, or punching or kicking a hole in the wall, so then she just completely ignores me for the the rest of the day, which makes me hate myself. Admittedly sometimes she seems to understand and gives me a hug or something that usually calms me down, but that's rare. I have recently taken to jumping into the wall side on and shoulder first, since I broke my hand punching the wall. When I do that I can feel the wall buckle and shake and whatever is hanging or on a shelf on the other side of the wall falls off. When I have a meltdown and I actually manage to get her to talk to me afterwards, all she says is "you need to calm down and control yourself". She doesn't seem to understand at all that there comes a point where I lose all control over what I do, I just start breaking, punching and throwing things, even when I don't want to. And the longer I go between meltdowns, the longer and more intense/violent they are when they do happen. I have had them happen at school before, and sent kids to the hospital who where stirring me up, despite the fact they were much larger than me. I seem to have access to a lot more strength than what is normal, and that scares me sometimes, incase I hurt a family member or good friend. I had a MAJOR meltdown one time, my dad wasn't home, and my mum called my uncle who lived a couple of blocks away, as I was breaking things left right and center. Despite the fact that he is a lot bulkier than me, and has more muscle, and is trained in restraining people as part of his job (he works at a psychiatric ward), he got me to the ground and was on top, I stood up with him on my back and threw him into a wall. When I get like that I can't think straight and I have absolutely no control over what I do, which worries me, as I only have meltdowns in social situations with lots of other people, or family.

Yeah, my pet hate. I have violently beaten people up pretty bad (in school, luckily I'm only 14 so I don't have the police involved like an adult would) for continuously teasing me about one of my strongest interests, fish, fishing, and aquariums. Most NT kids at school know that I have, according to them, an obsession with fish, so they stir me up a great deal about it. They are simply just one of my favourite animals (everyone has a favourite) that I research in depth. The fact that I know the latin names for most of my favourite species weirds them out. I have had a lot of kids suggest, to both me, and others when I am deliberately in earshot, that I have 'certain unnatural relationships' with fish, although use a lot cruder wording, which sets me right off, and I am barely in control of my anger, sometimes I'm not at all. Which is not a smart thing for them to do, combining the two facts that I have extreme anger that I can't usually control, and I have a considerable physical advantage of most people I know (my age or not). I try to control it, but with great difficulty.


If you do have an unnatural relationship with fish, take up fishing. And eating sushi. :D .

My favorite fish is a spotted muskellunge. Wonderful predator. They made me know that fish aren't stupid like most people believe.

I froze up to the teacher's question. He construed that as disrespecting him and gave me a harsh punishment for doing that.

This was the que for my stepfather to start beating me around the head.
Maybe he thought I had fallen asleep and needed waking up?
All it did was make me withdraw even further inside the little boy punchbag.

A spotted muskellunge. I had to search that one up, it looks like an interesting mix of gar and trout, they would be cool in a big aquarium. And just to clear the air, no I do not have an 'unnatural relationship' with fish.

Be sure to tell everyone that the person has Asperger's.

If you don't do the above, when the Aspie is trying to have a fresh start with somone, bring up embarassing incidents and socially unacceptable things that they used to do.

Treat them like they're a lesser person, yet hold them to a higher standard than NTs.

Reprimand them constantly, but excuse other people's behaviors.

Respect NT's rights to privacy in front of them, but grill the Aspie repeatedly about everything.

Be short for them randomly for no reason.

Yell at them for something that's not their fault, but don't give them time to respond.

Get mad at them for not doing something, and when they try to do it, say "it's too late now."

-Obtain an Autism diagnosis, and then act as if you speak for everybody who has the label. For example, not all of us would perceive a cure as a negative thing.
-I have an aversion for one who uses sarcasm to point out a mistake that's completely irrelevant. Despite the fact that I'm able to grasp it, I will act as if I take it literally to irritate the one who uses it (which works).
-I get aggravated when one can't take it when you're forthright with them.
-To try to say that one is looking to obtain attention for a diagnosis. Each time the person seems to think that just because of the fact that they've at least claimed to have worked with others who have been diagnosed with it that they are in position to make the diagnosis. They always claim that it's being insolent towards them as well. At the same time, however, I get irritated by the 'practice diagnosis' police (especially when the person just asks for an idea of what they might have).

-Be totally disorganized and make plans at the spur of the moment or wait at the minute to tell someone you can't make it so the whole family changes the time of going somewhere at the last minute and also poorly plan your day when you go somewhere like fail to plan at what time to get ready, fail to plan at what time to leave, fail to figure out where the place is at ahead of time and also make plans and then procrastinate.

-Tease an aspie and have them get upset and have everyone tell them you are just kidding and playing around and get mad at them for even getting upset and not calming down. Then get mad at them when they do tease others and is having fun and get mad at them about it telling them to stop teasing and they are being mean.

-makes the rules and don't have them apply to everyone except for the aspie and punish them every time they break a rule and let everyone else get away with it whenever they break a rule.

-Enforce social rules for the aspie but not for all the other kids who aren't aspie

-Use a lot of teasing and sarcasm and refuse to quit and then get mad at them whenever they take you seriously when you were just joking or when you didn't take you seriously because they assumed you were joking again

-Be sad and happy at the same time

-Accuse an aspie of laughing at you when they weren't

- say "Really I'm on the spectrum too", even though all they know about aspergers is from some mom coming on a tv show like ellen talking about it, then they decide they have it too but don't seek a diagnosis.

-mess with Styrofoam.
