My husband sort of accepts I have aspergers, but that does not make everything ok; rather he is of the notion that it is no excuse to not try and be better! He believes that I will use being an aspie to get away with things and that is not my way at all!
He has said: you are in the nt world, so get used to it; stop crying about it all.
So, when we were being amicable with each other, I said: suppose the world had more aspies in it, and less nts, wouldn't that make the nt feel an alien, since we do speak and different language? He actually and reluctantly agreed that yes, it probably would be like that. I carried it on and said: but you would not say that you have a mental problem would you? And he agreed. In fact, you would say that: your brain is wired differently? And again he agreed. Well, that is exactly how aspies feel.
I hear things on a daily basis and behaviours that make absolutely no sense to me and have a few who mock me for being an aspie. Saying things to me that I sense there is a strange undertone, but not quite knowing what it is; feel a bit dazed with the speech; only for the person to say: oh never mind, I was trying to be sarcastic with you, but it failed, didn't it? Mmm yes, of course it did, but excuse me: WHY do you NEED to be sarcastic with me, since I just said hello?!
Get this with ones joking too. Makes me feel that I am a complete idiot that I did not understand.
Also, to be told that perhaps people do not like you much, is because you go on a tangent with what ever you are talking about, but hang on, so do others and they are not aspies!
Anyway, since I can tell I am on a tangent, will stop, because it is actually a positive post lol
