From "Employer's guide to Asperger's syndrome", the list of the things that Aspies are doing wrong:

Quote:
- Ask too many questions
- Act impulsively, based on too little information (my comment - i.e. asking not enough questions)

- Talk too quickly / too slowly; too loudly / softly.

Looks like whatever you do, you're always at wrong. :D

Yep , it's definitely a fine line between right and wrong , I'm resigned to the fact that I'm always wrong :lol:

Can concur that whenever there is a failing it is usually my fault. Lots of others can do the same as me but bless them, I take the flak :?

I have adopted a phrase that my friend at university used to say, many years ago:

"Sometimes you're right... sometimes you're wrong... most times you're wrong"

I think most NTs would be happy if aspies didnt work with them at all. Which is why I don't get why some of them make such a big deal about people on welfare. Most of them hate working with us anyway.

Then probably we should die. Oh no, too harsh. So, just somehow magically cease to exist.

But seriously, I don't think they hate working with us.

:lol: They never liked working with me. The kind of job might make a difference. I was working in retail, parks and catering.

*asks a lot of questions*

Office clerk: What did I just tell you?

Office clerk: How long had you been working here? You should know this stuff already.

*doesn't ask questions and tries to figure it out herself*

Office clerk: If you don't understand, just ask

Me: ?????


I tell my mom this stuff years later and her response is "He was an a**hole." Wow, I feel like a snowflake, I can do no wrong and if I have problems, it's their fault. Uh no, that is called being normal and they are not going to understand if I have never bothered to tell them I have a disability nor share my diagnoses.

I'd like to see an "Aspie's guide to employers' syndrome." I think it might be longer than 3 items.

That one is longer than 3 items, too. I quoted just the most ridiculous ones.
