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."


I am very sad to hear about this happening to you, and even more sad that probably many Aspies have experienced similar. I wish all of us could have had parents as loving and supportive as my mom. She didn't know what was different about me, she just knew I was different, and difficult in unusual ways.

I think she still doesn't really believe it's Asperger's, or anything else on the spectrum. But it fits.

I know it's already part of the list, but:

Telling her she can't be autistic because only boys are autistic, or because she's self-diagnosed, or because she's good with words.


Aspies can be good with words. Some of us are hyperlexic. It's getting NT's to understand what we really mean with our words that's the challenge, because we just use the words we think say what we really, really mean. We don't shade it or shadow it with nuance, intonation, meaningful facial expression or body language. And if we do, we do it differently, not neurotypical.

It took me a long to time to even realize that people don't understand my neurodiverse body language. To me it's perfectly clear. But only my children get me--and that's probably because they were raised by me, not by caregivers or daycares or preschools. If you're raised by your mom, your mom is the first definition of "normal human" you have.

So my next one in the list is:
(sorry, not a clue what number we might be on) Accept her for who she is until you go out into the neurotypical world and find out just how different she really is.
This is what I believe my sister did when she started kindergarten. We got along just fine before she started public school.

Pretend to be an underage girl online and lure them to a house to meet them, when it is actually Chris Hansen of dateline NBC.

Turn down their offer to help with a task then yell at them for sitting around on their butt.

When an Aspie (me) offers a solution to a problem and everyone else says my idea is no good and later on, someone else comes up with the same idea and everyone agrees it's a good solution.

Assume that everything an Aspie has an issue with somehow boils down to the Aspie lacking empathy :roll:

Point out a quirk to the Aspie in the most humiliating way, by mentally taking note of it and back-stab the Aspie about it when she's not there, then wait for the next time she displays this quirk and then verbally attack her :roll:

If you are a professional social worker dealing with Aspie adults, act like you're perfect and superior, along with the Aspie's NT relatives, as if to say ''we're NT and we have all these social powers and can do this and do that and we don't worry about this or about that'', and forget entirely that just because you're NT it doesn't mean that you're perfect in every way and never have any issues :roll:

Ignore the Aspie in social situations when the Aspie really wants social interaction, and then stare at the Aspie when the Aspie LEAST wants attention, like when she's walking in a busy town by herself :roll:

Gang up on the Aspie when she tries to contribute to a conversation telling her not to ''interrupt'', then when you are all having a conversation and the Aspie is sitting quietly saying nothing, yell to the Aspie ''you're quiet!'' :roll:

I think this would annoy anyone who had to deal with this crap, Aspie or otherwise. I have a family member who will absolutely freak out if you don't answer the phone when she calls. She will keep calling me back to back until I pick up the phone, and then if I still don't pick up she will go over to my house to check on me. I have told her multiple times that I hate being called back to back, and that she should leave a voicemail like anybody else, but she keeps telling me that when I don't answer she wonders if I'm in the floor dead or unconscious or something. And they say we're socially awkward.

Sounds like histrionic disorder to me (your relative, not you)! My sis is like that, but only with my mom.

Honestly I think she has some kind of disability going on, but she is undiagnosed because she doesn't believe in therapy. She's the only one of my family I haven't come out to about my Asperger's for fear of her thinking I'm faking. Of course she might not react that way at all, as I have told her before that I suspected I was autistic. Heck anybody who knows me could figure that out.

Another way to annoy an Aspie?

Insist on medicating them into zombie-hood when what they really need is training and therapy.

Still looking for a book that does as good a job explaining NT's to Aspies as Attwood's Complete Guide does explaining Aspies to NT's!

•Play a song with heavy bass in it
•Changing plans without advance notice.
•Changing plans in general
•Make a list of ways to annoy a large community online where anyone can see it and take advantage of it :P
•Say: "But you have feelings."
•Say: "So that means you're good at math."
•Say: "Your parents must have given those vaccines, just awful"
•Use the word ret*d as an insult
•Say: "But you have friends"
•Say: "But your smart"

-Use words like "suffering" and "symptoms" when talking about Asperger's.

-Say you support not getting vaccinated, call anyone who does get their shots a sheep, and that it's a government conspiracy or some other paranoid delusion.

-Try to sell them Autism Speaks T-shirts.

- Re-interpret the rules, so that an insult that once may have resulted in dismissal, now results only in the victim being told "That's just your opinion".

- Show favoritism toward your friends for no other reason than they are your friends.

- Re-interpret the rules, so that shameful behavior can no longer be described openly by the very deserving label that it earned in public.

- Blame the person who points out troubling situations for being a trouble-maker.

This is one of my major pet peeves. I HATE heavy bass songs. Whenever my friends play them in the car it drives (hehe) me crazy
