Good Evening

Very busy day for me today. I haven't done any laundry for over a week so five loads washed, dried and folded later.....:eek: Oh how I hate folding laundry and pairing socks. There must have been close to 100 pairs :o and I still have all the bedding to do
As well as catching up with all the other things I've let slip last week. I think I won though

And we've had a meltdown from DS2 because someone (as yet undisclosed) ate the last slice of the Anniversary cake and it was his. We had tears and everything. Last seen examining other people hands, faces and bedrooms for traces of crumbs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:eek::eek:_pale_:rotfl:

Someone had two out of the 6 Kipling Almond Slices that I bought recently! Oh well, never mind, I suppose that's what I bought them for. Told them they could have them anyway at that point (not that I had any choice in the matter anymore:rotfl:).

I saw this yesterday:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2828626/The-truth-Asperger-s-Susan-Boyle-reveals-just-difficult-living-condition-makes-behaviour-unpredictable.html

I'm still doing a near-daily search for these things:rotfl: - 'appalled' that there was nothing new on you know what (AS:D) for several days, even a week or more, recently!!:rotfl::rotfl:

It (obviously) affects people in different ways - I wouldn't say my behaviour was 'unpredictable' - very rarely is it that. In fact, mine is rather predictable I think - due to following timetables, routine and predictable that I will be in Morries on Monday and Wednesday each week for example, as a result of the following of a 'specialist interest'. In fact, when you (I mean I:D) look at it - as I do extremely often indeed - it's 'normal' people that can be analysed as being "unpredictable" - in the sense of often not following any logic and in the sense of having inconsistent and perhaps you could call it "chaotic" social rules - but perhaps I like a bit of chaos theory!:rotfl:

Indeed, because my decision making might be somewhat 'predictable', as it is calculated and computed and follows certain rules, I'd say it'll be a downside because being predictable makes you vulnerable - if people can predict what you are going to do, they can use this to their advantage! There are manipulative people around and I very likely used to be extremely naive (certainly socially naive). At one point, in my childhood, I was naive to believe that people never told any lies. (Now, it's utter distrust:D:rotfl::rotfl:.)

Quote (above MailOnline article):
'OK Susan, what’s wrong. Was it me? Did I do something wrong. Did I take the menu away too quickly?’ he asks. She starts to erupt, then is suddenly on her feet, tearing at her hair and walking away, saying, ‘I can’t deal with this.’ With what? Onion rings? Her PR scurries after her, apologising profusely.
Andy sinks his head into his hands. ‘Welcome to our world,’ he says, wearily. If this were simply diva behaviour it would be rude, ridiculous and off-the-scale unacceptable.
But it isn’t. Susan’s meltdown is the result of a medical condition, not a wilful temper.

I think what may be wrong in this situation is the enquiring into what's wrong and even the 'scurrying after her'. It's likely, in my opinion, to lengthen the period of meltdown rather than end it. If someone is having a 'meltdown', worse thing you can do is talk to them and 'intrude' - the thing I'd want you to do would be to go away from me and let me recover alone. The asking of questions just imposes another burden - now having to listen and process the questions that someone is asking, on top of the original 'meltdown'. The problem is the meltdown is caused by the overload - so the worst thing to do is add to that by asking me a question on top. I know - it's the opposite approach, I suspect, of what a person normally would require. That is, if they are upset, to comfort them. That would calm the ordinary person down. To an Aspie though (and different Aspies are different to each other) - whilst sometimes I want people to comfort me if I'm upset and get more distressed that people are ignoring me and not doing so - on other times (it's about emotion so it is irrational) I just want to be left alone to sort myself out - and the asking of questions, which comes across as interfering even though the intention is undoubtedly the complete opposite, simply imposes an additional burden and slows down the recovery.

That's my experience. I don't really have 'meltdowns' very often at all. I know - it's nothing against you, it's not that we are anti-social, it's just that sometimes we are best left alone as we deal with that much better.

Perhaps. As it affects different people quite differently.

Problem is if I want to say "Leave me alone", it takes more brain processing on top to do that, assuming I'm in a meltdown, and only makes the meltdown worse. If I'm really distressed it would, anyway (adds to the overload, what you want is for no 'interference', no 'intrusion', just be left alone to recover).

Big family get-together at a restaurant on Thursday evening for a landmark birthday (not mine), which ended up with someone rushed to hospital (not me, and not self-inflicted or alcohol-related); thankfully all OK now, but I'd just like to pay tribute to the restaurant staff and particularly the emergency services who were spendidly spectacularly superb:T:T:T Whatever they are getting paid, when I rule the country as a benign dictator (and my time is coming soon:)) they will get whatever they want.
But, a bit of a 'memento mori' moment

What an eventful night! Glad all is well now

Oh jelly......is that the reason for your new avatar .......what a shock you must have had:o

No it isn't, just sheer coincidence. I thought I should change my avatar from the Remembrance poppy theme, and I just really liked this photo which I took in Mexico last year during the Day of the Dead.
Might change it again, to something more cheery:)
