He is who he is. But where does one draw the line? How good/bad does ones ADS need to be to be non accountable for ones actions/verbals?
What's ADS?
With or without ASD no one is accountable for anything!
I don't want anyone to treat me any different that they did before I had my diagnosis. All it means is that I now understand many of the reasons why I struggle the way I do. It's not like I haven't been struggling all my life before my diagnosis lol.

I'll socialize when I want to! Same as anybody else!

Because that's what I am!

NO.
Treat me like Hammy. If you make allowances, make allowances you made before you knew I had ASD.

Yeah that's why I keep going on about it but I go on about everything that's on my mind... so it's no surprise I go on about something life-changing.
Quote:Shit! I just derailed my own happy thread. After telling CL not to go down the rabbit hole with Hammy (who sidetracks easily), That's exactly what I also did! DOH!
Meh derails happen all over AF

Treat me like... Hammy.
I treat everyone differently to everyone else!
As Steven Pinker said, fairness is not sameness. When Thomas Jefferson said that all men are equal he did not mean that all men are clones.
