Annoying things:
-talking about feelings too much. so much it makes me uncomfortable
-assuming that my failure to talk about my feelings means they don't exist
-not asking me about those things in a straight-up, non-confrontational manner.
Also I get really irked by the 'dating advice' that gets bandied around. Especially stuff about 'emotional unavailability'- which advises people to run away and if the advice were followed many people with AS would be single forever. A lot of that advice does not tolerate different perspectives. But people lap it up and espouse it like some godforsaken truth, its madness.
