If only we could just stop our compulsions whenever it gets in someone else’s way!
((One of my special ed teachers tried to make me promise to go to all of my classes today.
Hahahahahaha.
NO.
I am terrified of authority figures, but I’m not SO utterly petrified of you that I’m willing to be sobbing in the halls in between classes, hyperventilating whenever anyone tries to talk to me, and shaking whenever I see a teacher that I’m scared of and then STILL GO TO CLASS. I refuse to give myself panic attacks that way, and she should understand that that is an unreasonable thing to ask of me.
If nothing else, it must be really fricking distracting to be trying to write an essay while your classmate is muttering to eirself and attempting not to cry.
I DO promise to try to go to all of my classes. I do promise to wrangle with my fucked up brain and attempt to go. But I do not promise that my neurology won’t force me to leave.
I understand it must be inconvenient for you to have to deal with me.
It’s inconvenient for me to get home and be so utterly drained that all I can do is lie in bed, and I can’t even muster up the energy to turn on the television, so just think about how much of a failure I am.))](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m416iaP4Qq1r6upk5o1_400.jpg)

Social skills: noticing when repetition is communication
So there’s this dynamic:
Autistic person: The door is open!
Other person: I *know* that. It’s hot in here.
Autistic person: The door is open!
Other person: I already explained to you that it’s hot in here!
Autistic person: The door is open!
Other person: Why do you have to repeat things all the time?!
Often when this happens, what’s really going on is that the autistic person is trying to communicate something, and they’re not being understood. The other person things that they are understanding and responding, and that the autistic person is just repeating the same thing over and over either for no reason or because they are being stubborn and inflexible and obnoxious and pushy.
When what’s really happening is that the autistic person is not being understood, and they are communicating using the words they have. There’s a NT social expectation that if people aren’t being understood, they should change their words and explain things differently. Sometimes autistic people aren’t capable of doing this without help.
So, if this is happening, assume it’s communication and try to figure out what’s being communicated. If you’re the one with more words, and you want the communication to happen in words, then you have to provide words that make communication possible. For example:
Other person: Do you want the door to be closed, or are you saying something else?
Autistic person: Something else
Other person: Do you want to show me something outside, or something else?
Autistic person: Something else
Other person: Are you worried about something that might happen, or something else?
Autistic person: Worried
Other person: Are you worried that something will come in, or that something will go out?
Autistic person: Baby
Other person: She’s in her crib, and the baby gate is up. Is that ok, or is there still a problem?
Autistic person: ok
((I swear to god, even some of the fricking special ed teachers at my school don’t get this, and it is so aggravating to listen to the teachers assuming that their students are just deliberately being obnoxious because… no… stop that…))
