People call you names?

I don't know why you'd want to ignore them, just say, "hello" and "are you having a nice time on holiday?"
Children are people too

There are times i want to ignore everyone, breakfast while in a hotel is sometimes one of those times. I either have a morning after a late night head or am focusing on the 'business' that takes us away and want a calm focused start.

Edit, i am a sociable person, but just prefer to get my horel coffee and fruit juice down before engaging much with people of any stature.

I don't know about the OP, but at breakfast time I don't really want to engage in conversation with anyone, not even DH, so other people, and other people's children? Not if I can help it ...

My twins have ASD tendencies (not yet diagnosed - being assessed) and they do get fixated on things. The most recent one is asking everyone for their shoe size and when their birthday is. I will say that if we were staying where PN was they would probably have asked her by now

That can be quite embarrassing because what's in their head just comes straight out of their mouth, ie 'why have you only got one leg' :eek: omg I could have died.

They could probably choose their breakfast without a fuss though!

PasturesNew, I apologise for calling you a grumpy git.

Honestly, from the tone of your posts I thought they were half tongue in cheek and you were going for a 'Victor Meldrew' type grumpy old woman persona. Now you've mentioned your asperger's, clearly that's not the case.

I hope you can find a way to live alongside other people more happily in the future.

Yeah .... I'd ask why somebody only had one leg... if they did. It's not embarrassing.... for us.

No need to apologise.... I am often perceived as a grumpy old git, being misunderstood goes with the aspie territory as mis-communication is a big part of the issues.

Some of my posts have been tongue in cheek.

Nowt wrong with Victor.... he's right about a lot of stuff

My way of living alongside other people is ..... to keep out of their way most of the time; it leads to least problems all round.

The man they asked wasn't embarrassed either! Cheerfully explained it to them on a packed bus

They do seem to be famous locally apparently I don't know whether to be proud or horrified :rotfl:

I was brought up to stay quiet .... probably because of the embarrassment I caused. My parents used to say they had to take me everywhere twice, the second time to apologise

Both of mine have autistic tendencies but not quite enough for a diagnosis. Eldest didn't like talking so he never asked anything embarrassing, but youngest is a chatterbox. He asks people how old they are :eek:

He has asked why people only have 1 leg before. I told him not to ask a new child in his class and I know it killed him not to ... he still wonders about it, a year after she left his class.

He also asks how much things cost
