No Longman, I don't think you are being petty. If you were petty and childish then you would deserve to be put on the naughty step. No, I think that you are behaving understandably given that we are on the spectrum. It would be wrong of me to be judgemental about your behaviour so I choose to try and reason and reflect back to you so that you can understand why people get upset when, for example, you use terms like vile and vindictive when, from their point of view it just makes no sense. Sometimes we are baffling and bewildering to onlookers and people we come into contact with. I speak from my own experience of being criticised for being negative, judgemental, picky, pedantic, argumentative etc etc. I have learned to moderate my language and worry more about how my words strike other people. It doesn't come easily to me but I think I have learnt new tricks despite being an old dog.
