Antagonism

Post Reply New Topic

I dunno why, but for no good reason, I tend to be antagonistic towards a few people, notably, my mom and dad. I dunno why, but is true that autistics tend to be antagonistic?

Perhaps it's a reaction to the in-built feeling of not being understood, or an underlying anxiety at environmental input affecting sensory system.

Some psychiatrists and parents of autistic children (like my parents) say they do, but no one knows for sure. Maybe it just depends from the personality.
In my case, I am antagonistic. I don't hate my parents (pretty much the opposite), but I argue a lot with them, expecially with my mother. I tend to deny everything she says. But also appens with other people, even with peers: I tend to deny everything they say, because I feel they are wrong, and I also tend to correct their grammar, because their grammar sucks. About other adults, it depends: if it's the sensei or some professors that are nice to me, it's ok; but if it's a professor that I hate, I do nothing of what they say.

This may explain why I want an NCO against my parents; or at least, partly why, my hostility towards them.

You have mentioned in the past that your parents are (Having trouble finding the right words) constantly putting you down. I mean, they have driven you to the point of wanting a restraining order.

Maybe that is why you are as u say "antagonistic" w/ them. Did they tell you that's what you are?

Not quite; I just see them as pushing their rather prissy and demanding ways on me. I'd rather not go further than that on the matter.
