Accessional diary of a dyslexic dom.

Any old nonsence that comes into my head.
5 years ago. June 25, 2019 at 2:04 AM

OK so I have managed to offend someone. I know I would and I am only really surprised that it did not happen sooner.

 

I do not know if I should try to blame this on my condition (saying inappropriate or just plain stupid things is a symptom of Aspergers syndrome) or sleep deprivation, or weather I should just concede that I can be a bit of a jerk.

 

I recently fell out with a friend (although we are talking know) who was constantly offended by things I did. I still do not really know wether she was right to be offended or wether she was just a controls freak, but the strange thing is that, every time, it seemed to come out of nowhere. I never once saw it coming, I never know that I had done anything until I was told that I had done something. I still do not really know what I did or if I did anything at all. I don't know if this is a symptom of Aspergers, that my relationship with the world remains, to some extent, a mystery to me, or if life is just like that.

 

Anyway I have know spoken to the person who was offended and the hole thing is know resolved.

 

I think I will be mostly sticking to writing accessional blogs on here in the future. My advice is not all that much use anyway as I do not know all that much.

SchrodingersDinosaur​(switch female){N/a} - Just, first let me say that yes, your advice is important, and you sharing your experience even if, hell, especially if, you don't feel like you know what you are doing is extremely valuable to this community.

I offer you compassion as you live with Asperger's. I have young family members; someone whose been very important to me for a long time; and now another close friend all on spectrum. I wear a puzzle piece on a chain or in a piercing for them.

I read your words above, that you offended someone. The self awareness you have about it is what is important to communicate. You have a challenge to deal with, but if you are honest and communicate when and how you are able, there's no reason you can't have close and meaningful connections. You may say something that is painful, it happens, but when you do then explain, talk, share. There are people that can understand.

It's not always easy for the person who cares about someone who is on the spectrum. It doesn't hurt less when your feelings are hurt, but when you understand that it wasn't intended to offend it's manageable.

I wish you much luck, peace, and some good sleep. Sleep always helps! - Henna

SchrodingersDinosaur​(switch female){N/a} - Awww man, I hope that was a typo...you aren't the first that's called me Dinosour though. Most inaccurately and unfairly I think, btw. I didn't identify you as a juggalo, but if the nomenclature was not inadvertent I'll take the hint and not bother you again, dear. Be well, - Henna

Justme26 - @Henna. Sorry. I just thought that was the name that you had given your self (well shortened). I did not mean any offence. Whats a Juggalo?

SchrodingersDinosaur​(switch female){N/a} - No worries, Hun, just a little sensitized I suppose. I do identify myself as a dinosaur here frequently in jest, that's why I elected to use that and the Schrodinger's cat portmanteau when I felt like I only preferred that those I know call me Henna. I'd starting relaxing the idea, but certainly don't mind being referenced by it, I picked the moniker and I still think its fun. When you used Dinosour, I wondered if you were a fan, or juggalo, of the person that had previously identified me that way. That's why I said I'd back off, I don't wish for more trouble. If it was just an unfortunate typo, please pay no mind! - Henna the Dinosaur....sweet, not sour! 😊
