God, it's like getting blood out of a stone sometimes!
Usually what happens is, I'm having a conversation, one of them says something confusing. I ask what they mean and they either ask another question, or make fun of me, or stare blankly. The more I ask for clarification, the weirder they get. It's like they're playing a game.
So I usually just give up and shut up.
Why is it so frigging difficult to answer a straightforward question??
Actually my ex H and his brother who are both on the spectrum can never answer a straight question with a straight answer
My husband is good at deflecting if he feels the question I ask is going to make him uncomfortable and equally annoying he will answer what he thinks I am asking - not what I am asking. This in itself then causes an argument because he says I must be implying something and I argue that I am more than capable of phrasing a question, and if I ask question A it is because I want question A answered!! He often says he forgets I have Aspergers so I ordered a hoodie from NAS so I can wear it at home and he can't forget!!
