Why did my friend get so pissy with me?

[HappyWoman34]

She’s hardly ever in touch and then contacts me, saying she’ll ring me in the morning, which works for me. Then later, she says would the afternoon work for me. The afternoon doesn’t suit me, as I’m considering attending choir and will have to leave in the afternoon. Then when I explained this and suggested Saturday, since she’s got work and I’ve got choir, she got really offended and sulky/snitty. I’m genuinely confused. We both have Asperger’s.

She's just acting like a spoilt brat cause she didn't get her way.

Hey, blow it off. Blame it on that aspergers.

[HappyWoman34]

I haven’t blown it off. I don’t get all social cues and I find her behaviour confusing.

[Dongie]

Well, straighten her out Happy.

[Dongie]

I've made another friend on here. He's got that same affliction or whatever it is. He has spoken of social issues as well. I really don't know anything about it. i guess I'll read up on it a little later.

😊😊😊

[HappyWoman34]

It’s mild Autism.

[Dongie]

That's what he called it. Can u add quickly or any special talent? Play piano?

[HappyWoman34]

Like what they call ‘idiot savant?’ No, I’m not that severe. I’m good at things like singing. I was told I could pursue a career as an opera singer, or a model. I was a successful support worker. I’m good with animals, baking, but mainly with people. I work really well with the mentally ill, the disabled and the elderly service users. I might say, especially old people with dementia.

[HappyWoman34]

I have an interest in people. I’ve studied lots of disorders and illnesses as an interest and studied extra hard on social skills. It’s probably my special interest.

[HappyWoman34]

So yeah 😊

[Dongie]

That's awesome. Opera has got to be hard. Taking a great deal of talent. I can do most of those other things except not handling old and disabled.

[HappyWoman34]

Thanks 😊. Well, despite my bad temper if people push me the wrong way, I can be very patient and gentle with vulnerable people. I was a terrible nurse’s aide. I made people cry.

[HappyWoman34]

I was good in aged care. I’ve always been shy to show others my talents, like singing, or show off my body for modelling. So I didn’t pursue them.
