I am well used to dealing with DS2s reaction, [1] or lack of it when it comes to events that touch me and the rest of the family emotionally. It's his way and I wouldn't change it and whilst some people may have been offended......im not, not at all. [4] I suspect you knew that I wouldn't be before you posted
[1] :rotfl::rotfl:
[2] I'm not sure I do. I hadn't really considered until now.
[3] This is an interesting point though and getting me thinking about whether people do.
In fact... now considering it.. different people clearly do react differently and I understand and know that already, and have known it for a long time that that is the case, but I'm not sure that all non-autistic people would be emotionally attached and be affected the same way. [Or maybe this is your sixth sense that, it turns out, I don't possess at all. ..Am I really clueless?:o:o:think:]
[4] If I imagined in any way you might have been offended I wouldn't have posted it at all. I'm a kind, considerate, thoughtful person and have a lot more emotional aspect than might sometimes be outwardly seen. It's just that everyone else outside me often fails to notice when I am upset. (Which is not at the moment by the way, just making a general point about other times.) (So much for their caring and emotional attachment when they fail to recognise my feelings.) I cut myself up so much in advance so many times, at not wanting to say something for fear it might be wrong or might cause offence. If I do say something and then cause offence, I am mortified when I discover that I had caused offence.
:eek::eek: I didn't realise you'd been emotionally affected by the loss of your cat. (Penny now dropping:rotfl:.) Obviously, it's not want's wished for and causes you to have to do all sorts of things you could have done without, and that will obviously be emotionally affecting in some way, but I'm talking about severe upset - real grieving for your pet? I am wondering if I have missed the point on that aspect.0 -

However.....I am after a new laptop, so if anyone can point me to a good site that sells refurb lappys, I would be very thankful. All these processors confuse me now, but I cant go too far wrong......can I :cool:
Hello
Although not a refurb.
We have just bought this one, my DH tells me it is the latest processor, although not touchscreen as stated, but quite glad as the kids are on it already.

[...]
Quoting myself again, but for greater clarity (than footnoting in a single post).
My thought on whether I am clueless... has led me to the response "I don't know!".
But, if I really was clueless, I suspect I wouldn't know would I?
So.. if I am clueless, I'm unable to get the answer that I am, because I am.
And, if I'm not, I'm unable to answer any different from 'I don't know' as I wouldn't know about the possibility that I might be, as I can't rule that out as a possibility, due to the preceding sentence ("So...if I am clueless," etc.).0
