Can you "turn off" your emotion?
I'm the same way with things like movies and music. I actually use them deliberately when I need an emotional release over an interpersonal situation. Nadador does this, too. We've talked about which movies and music work for us when we need to "let go" in private. I'm tagging him because he may...- Slithytoves

Can you "turn off" your emotion?
I agree with Nacho that your mother doesn't have a good grasp of the Aspie perspective and how we operate. Honestly, though, I think many NTs are able to shut off emotions as the situation requires as well. It's a necessary skill for many, many "helping" professions.

What Do You Think Of The Autism Severity Scale?

Made to feel like a child - Awww Muuum!
I had to laugh when I read your OP, Spiller -- Harrison and I were just talking about this exact thing this morning. You don't post new threads very often, so to see this one in particular today was just too funny. My own incident: I told my mom on the phone yesterday that Harrison purchased...- Slithytoves

Age differences
I always wonder about people whose partners become very ill or disabled in accidents (or whatever) and they bail on them. I can understand that some people might not be able to handle anything so huge that wasn't in The Plan, but if you really love someone, why should they be different than a...- Slithytoves
