Repeating; contradicting

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else feel the urge to repeat/contradict?

I know repeating people/yourself is a common symptom of ASD, and I've had the issue with repeating thoughts/sounds in my head, but lately one of my "things" has been getting worse.

Examples;

Them: That person looks ugly
Me: You look ugly.

Them: This tastes awful
Me: You taste awful.

Them: This is annoying.
Me: You are annoying.

Them: I don't like this.
Me: I don't like you.

It's hard to explain I suppose.. I have a hard time explaining things like this.



It's just kind of an urge to say it.. I try not to but it's almost always a thought when someone says something similar to those statements. It upsets my Mother a lot, because she thinks I'm being mean to her constantly(my tone of voice and facial expressions confuse her) but I'm not.


(Also, random question that has nothing to do with this... has anyone had extra difficulty adjusting to new glasses.. I got new ones today and they're driving me nuts )

Usually its true though. Most people are annoying in one way or another.

I agree. I honestly believe I was not meant for constant human interaction.
