Rude

[LittleBlu]

I had a fight with my mom once where she told me I was being rude but she refused to give me an example. I couldn't understand how I was being rude or when I was. She said I could understand but I really couldn't. Now I'm constantly worried if I'm being rude and always thinking back to past conversations to wonder if I was rude then.

If it was only once, just that one time, forget about it. If however people often seem to think you're being rude, then unfortunately that goes with the territory. That's what ASD is like. If you often interact with someone, like your mum say, then you should sit down with her and briefly go through what ASD is and how it affects you and your interractions with other people.

Unfortunately, it’s one of those things with ASD. You may not think you’re being rude, or aggressive or any other incorrect perceived behavior but to others you are. It’s also really hard to understood what you did wrong and why it can be perceived that way. And then of course having to think and wonder if you are being like this and that is constantly exhausting.

Your mom should have given you an example, so you could try to learn where you went wrong and to better equip you for how to handle it better in the future. And I’m very sorry that she didn’t do that for you.
