Do people with autism and Asperger's ever get on your nerves?

  • It isn't likely that that would happen. I know several people with aspergers and autism both. They don't quite do that, especially those with aspergers. There was one kid who didn't like to be touched and asked a lot of questions (autistic), but he didn't bother people either. If you told him you didn't want to talk at the moment, he would go away. So even if they're impulsive, they certainly aren't all a bother. Of the several people I know with autism, only one has ever been an issue- and she wasn't the issue, her mother's lack of care was.

    • That seems about right. I try to be respectful of others boundries and don't like when other people invade my personal bubble as well.
      A lot of the impulsive things I do more involve actions without thought. It actually scares me sometimes and has resulted in hospital trips. I think a way to describe these impulses is if you can understand somebody with obsessional ocd, who has intrusive thoughts about doing bad things. They have anxiety over doing it but usually never do. With me there have been times I've slipped and actually did really stupid things, just because I thought of it. I may joke about it, but joking about your shortcomings becomes necessary to cope with them.
      I try hard to hide my emotions, but honestly I am terrified of myself because I don't know what I may be capable of.

      • My sister has OCD, and is obsessed with neatness. She's also terrified of garbage.
