zacaroo21 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So the dude I work with was just asked to leave his radio off for the first hour of work (hotel, guests often complain about noise in the morning) and he's been flipping out over it since we got to work since it messes up his routine (part of aspbergers is being particular on havin routines and systems). Now his supervisor is in a super pissy mood as well and they're just bickering back and forth. I refuse to baby him and beg that he can always get his way and he always accuses me of taking sides. Everything with him is how people treat him - he'll apologize and won't stop until they accept his apologies which tends to piss people off more with him. Today is going to be long and probably end in lots of phone calls and paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Well, had he been told he could play his radio at a reasonable volume in the first hour of work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacaroo21 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yes, but there have been many recent noise complaints so they switched it to be off until the first hour was over then he's allowed to have it on at a reasonable level the rest of the day. I understand why he's frustrated but nothing will calm him down unless he just gets his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a combination of the two. He's a smart man who can easily manipulate people to giving him what he wants. But the change being frustrating is the spectrum at full force.

zacaroo21 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I rarely have problems with him and they usually are very small behaviors. I'm just super frustrated today and needed to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably safe to say it's not a personality issue. =\ Its tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 in spectrum related news, i'm kind of excited about this, because i loved the book: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/curious-incident-of-the-dog-in-the-night-time-coming-to-broadway-in-the-fall/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 (not that i see many broadway plays, haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 This is 100% Aspergers. It's probably safe to say it's not a personality issue. =\ Its tough. My ex-girlfriend kept claiming I had Aspergers, because I used to get very fussy when my routine was messed with. I'm pretty sure I'm just set in my ways (based on the other signs of having it).

There are a slew of other signs aside from being set in a routine, so I don't think it's fair for your ex to have been trying to diagnose you based on you're preference of conforming to your routines.

lonesomexloveus Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 my roommate in college (who is now a music therapist who works almost exclusively with autistic children) always told me that i'm on the spectrum, ahaha. however, it's hard to say, since adhd and autism have symptoms that mimic each other.

Princess Logan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A few people have brought it up to me that I probably fall on the scale of autisim somewhere. I was told to get it checked out but even if I am, finding out will probably have little affect on my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
