aspy here. I'd be cool with receiving this book (i'd still throw it onto my bookcase and forget about it though) because as far as I know, there's nothing wrong with getting a gift meant to make your life easier. |

op why are you throwing such a fit because your mom cares about you ????? she was trying to do something considerate and you got so bent out of shape you had to blog about it on a lego forum? |

If the book doesn't work for you and the thought of expanding your perspective of your own issue terrifies you then just don't read it lol --- Quote from: Tokthree on January 06, 2017, 07:35:04 PM ---Plus, being told that you need to change who you are in order to accomplish anything is the most insulting thing I could possibly imagine. --- End quote --- Yikes. I'd feel sorry for your therapist. Not everyone is capable of accomplishing everything, we all have room for improvement, and there may very well be a need to 'change who you are' in order to reach a higher potential. --- Quote from: Tokthree on January 06, 2017, 07:35:04 PM ---If you can't understand why this is at least a moderately insulting gesture, regardless of who you receive it from, then you don't have any right to be commenting on how someone with Asperger's Syndrome feels about something. --- End quote --- Is this a direct result of the syndrome or something? If my parents gave me a job called "Getting a Life with Social Anxiety", I'd probably appreciate the fact that my parents are legitimately concerned about my mental health and are actively searching for advice to give me. I probably wouldn't take it as a "forget you" because my parents have raised me under their roof on their dime for almost two decades and have expected nothing in return. Much less if I was mentally handicapped at that. If you ask me I reckon OP should feel lucky that he even has parents that give a stuff about him considering a sizable amount of children don't. |
