The World of NT's

Once again the wondrous NT's in my family are at it again. Let me explain. So far I have not acknowledged to all family members that I am Asperger. With good reason too. Now that some of them know I am A.S. everyone is A.S. My husband thinks he is A.S. Noooooo! You like to go to biker parties, you are not afraid to confront difficult people, you look people in the eye it is not a problem for you. You would rather socialize than sit at home. You didn't hide in a closet as a kid, you were out getting IN TROUBLE with your multitude of friends, you were popular you had girlfriends! Another one of our close friends is supposedly A.S. also the NT's swear he is just because he has no tact and has a big trashy mouth. Just because someone is socially inept and verbally abusive doesn't mean they are A.S. I am so sick of that. It goes way beyond the Socializing issue but all the NT's including the lame social workers(and school psychologist) just keep rattling on about the Social difficulties. Heavy sigh! Then there is the "well everybody does that" statement. We were around the camp fire last night and at one point were were talking about the bugs and bug bites. Okay the conversation ended and we went on to the next subject. We were well into the next subject and the NT next to me was talking.....in the middle of her sentence.......and I blurted out this experience I had with dear flies while being over at the neighbors land the other day. After my idiotic brain was done spewing out yesterdays news I realized what I did and apologized for it (after 42 years and many people getting pissed at you for such a horrible conversational offence you learn to catch some of the blips and apologize for them.) Realizing this was an Asperger thing I explained my fopah. But of course what do I hear that I hear all the time from the NT. Oh that's okay we all do that! NO YOU DON'T! NO YOU DON'T! Dam it I hate that! Don't tell me that is normal! Man that makes me mad! If I mention one A.S. thing or try to talk about the problems that come along with Asperger Syndrome they always try to explain it away with "oh that's normal behavior or That's typical everybody does that." Bull crap! They do not! My mother tried that with my son Billy(the other Aspie in the family) always saying to me "Oh well that's normal behavior for a kid Lynda" (growl). That's why I hate talking to any of my family about mine or Billy's A.S.

Possible NT up gotta go.
