What's wrong? do you have any sort of grievance against Alex?

I am displeased with the fact that
at his leisure and risk of not being
able to retrieve my Wifi card, he
will have successfully cut out my
tongue.... and on top of that rose
my hopes he got it 2 weeks ago
to later tell me today that when his
parents get to town.

Excuse Me...Don't play with me
like that!

Ghosthunter...

Are you saying: Alex said he had picked up the card, but in-fact had NOT picked up the card.

Or are you saying: Alex said he would pick up the card but has not yet done so.

He finally tells me after 2 weeks of silence,
He doesn't have the card and his "parents
will pick it up when they go to town"....Which
is seldom.

Thus if he plays his autism card on me, "I forgot",
NO Dice. I depend on this card for emotional
expression freedom. So thus.....it is like stranding
Alex on a island without his sleeping meds at my
leisure.

Its not my fault. I don't have a car and have no way to get it myself. My parents are going to get it today (unless they forget). Anyway, its not my fault that you left your card at a cafe. My whole family is going out of its way to help you by getting the card that you forgot. I'm sorry that its taking so long but there isn't anything I can do about it. My family has been very generous to you and we even let you stay over at our house because you didn't make any hotel reservations, even though that wasn't the plan. If you wanted the card, you shouldn't have left it at the cafe in the first place. You're going to get the card after we send it to you. I can't do anything else. I'm really sorry that its taking so long but I can't do anything about that and it hurts my feelings that you're blaming me for not having your card.

GH,

I will explain the issue with you when I see you on Monday. There is more that autism at work here.

Why are you implying that this is more than
just retrieving a card. It is also my emotions
that are being played with here.

GH - believe me I know that having other people's whim get between you and something critical can be frustrating - I told you about the time it took a certain person nine months to fix my computer. But it's possible that if Alex had tried to force his parents to get the card immediately, it would turn into an emotional mess for him too. You can't fault him for not having a car and being dependent on his parents' driving. Maybe he has no cards to play to them, to get them to go sooner.

It's like this. If you'd forgotten the card in my town, I'd still have to wait for permission to use my mother's car to go pick it up. Even if it took days. Yes, I could theoretically steal the key and go right away. But that would cause huge conflicts in my familiy when they asked me why I'd done it. For all you know, Alex could have something similar going on.

I believe he understands the card's importance. By staying angry at him even now, you just cause more defensiveness and make him less likely to help.

This is Pyraxis in Ghosthunter's account... just letting everyone know what is going on, to create a little distance between GH and Alex until things have been resolved. Right now GH is not sure what he wants to do, but hopefully time will cool things off.
