well.... hmm... I know on occasion (to this day) its hard for me to confront ppl sometimes. A week ago, we had a load and someone (it was not my load) forgot to put pallets back on his truck because apparently the truck driver thought we owed him. When he asked me (and he comes regularly, ive even had issues with him in the past taking equipment and driving off with them when they were not his) to put wood on his truck i was getting on my forklift and was going to drive off to find the stacks of wood when I was told that we indeed to not owe him wood.
Now, in the past ive had altercations with him, he drove off on a peice of power equipment that was signed out to me, i was responsible if it broke down or whatever. I was told to walk out to his truck and tell him that we did not owe him any wood, we were not going to give it to him, i really felt unconfortable doing this, as i knew it would result in an argument, he does not like me too much i feel (paranoia??? my parents say im always paranoid ppl dont like me, hehe). I asked my supervisor if he would do it (technicaly its his job, as I was occupide doing forklift work anyways) because I was unconfortable.
I know im an adult now, and often have to suck it up and deal with it, but sometimes its difficult.
Your son im sure feels similar to me, i know he never met this nice lady before, but for some reason that apprehension, disconfort hits when you realize you gotta deal with someone, for whatever reason. I dont think its shyness, im not shy and i really wanted to avoid arguing with a truckdriver about a stack and a half of pallets. Its definatly an autism thing, even being almost 25 im still effected by certain things, itll never diminish. I have no idea why it occures, i hate running into people i know in stores, i hate running into friends when im with parents, i hate running into parents when im with friends, its all the same feeling brought about by social apprehension.
I cant really describe it, but i hope u get the idea.Hello ,
My son and I went garage saleing yesturday we had a great time but the first one we went to was huge and Tyler was tickled to death everything was 25 cents well he found a bunch of old and new hot wheels but I was still looking he wanted to go and I said Tyler go pay the lady he totally rufused to go up and pay the lady he just won't go do little things like that and the lady was so sweet and nice . I wonder why he acts like this I know he is autistic he is so backwards . MY DH is an aspie. We had a car accident, people stopped to see if we were okay (we were) but my husband quickly got back in the car so he wouldn't have to talk to anyone. I was still a little shocked from the accident,( 7 months pregnant )and had to get out and thank people for helping...that's how stressful talking to strangers is for my dh.
