you can't the blame aspergers

peter0003

Hi All,  

       There is a lot of other things about my asperger's I don't understand and how to get the message across to those people who need to know that I mean no harm when I talk to them.  Being unemployed does not help but I volunteer to do work for my church espeically in the grounds/garden and have had problems with other members of the church in what I have said to upset them. And then I'm told that I cannot blame it  on being one with aspergers, If not why not? It is the only reason I could give for the situation. I may not know what to say or not say, or even  when to  shut up.

        And my sister in law is a pain, she's a methodist minister and it she thinks she knows everything to with austism. Just because her friends son has autism she thinks she knows best for me and then thinks i'm stupid most of the time.  I  am 51 years old, have a house, can drive , use a PC & have problems with saving  money  I try to forget about her nagging.   any HELP would help.

Yours Peter0003

  • I know quite a lot of christians and some of them are rather rigid in their way of looking at things, they have difficulty taking it in.  Some also go in for "telling off" as a way of dealing with people behaviour they don't agree with.  On the other hand some are also very kind and generous.  I would try and avoid some of these people. Yes writing the letter to your sister in law is a good idea.  But some are not really open to much learning.

    Next time someone says this is not AS ask them what they think AS is, where are they getting their information from, because difficulty in communicating and making faux pas is a typical problem (it is the definition, I think)

    Can I ask you if you swear at all?  Most christians don't like it.
