i've had this happen myself with a fellow aspie, and i got tired of reminding him of our mutual background every single time i talked to him. not everyone has the patience to deal with that. i would not be cursing about it, but i would probably break off contact. IF it was even serious.
i just don't see the big deal - she even sounds like she is having a bit of fun with it. perhaps her response is slightly exaggerated or tongue-in-cheek for comic effect? i call people a**hole, bastard, son-of-a-b***h, Motherf***er, etc. all the time. i reserve it for the people i *really* care about though, so they know it's all in fun. perhaps this girl just hasn't learned the boundaries yet.
but what it comes down to...yes, she has a foul mouth, and you don't like that - which is totally fine. thank goodness there are men out there who finds swearing sexy or funny (yes, they do exist). so it's a good idea you cut her loose so she can go find someone who can appreciate it.
Wait what, you swear at people that you like?... Does this seem odd to anyone else?, so if i see my mum and say Hey you mother f***ing b***h, that's ok to you?. Seriously it's not ok even in this day and age to be swearing at someone you care about. And hardly remembering her at all, is jumping the gun. I'm fustrated too on occasion but my swearing goes towards that wind me up or insult me!
I was brought up to respect others and the only thing i forgot was that she added me from here, she didn't tell me what autism she had.
Are there any men on here, that find being sworn at as sexual? or funny or for the matter any women?
hahaha yes, i do call people things like that.
not to my mother, as she is dead. and i didn't like her enough to give her any endearments like that (EDIT: didn't like her in the chummy buddy-buddy way, but i loved her as a mom). i sometimes called my dad a bastard though - in a loving way.
if you look around and pay attention, there are quite a few people who do refer affectionately to their friends with terms like that... notably, it is usually men who say things like that. but that doesn't stop me - i am an honourary man in some circles. those guys enjoy my company and we like to have a laugh (those a**holes are fun to have a pint with).
just because that kind of speech isn't okay to *you* doesn't make it universally wrong.
fair enough that you remembered her to a degree, but it seems quite evident that you were not clear where you knew her from and that upset her. did you go back through your chat logs or PMs to see if she told you what kind of autism she has? she seems to be saying that she already told you.
If I know someone well, I use that kind of language too. *shrug* Don't get what the big deal is....it's just words.
