[quote=RR17] I said you seem to prefer a very rigid style of communication that is stereotypically associated with Asperger's (aka autism spectrum disorder.
Your mention of negotiation gave me another way to express my thought without introducing confusion about diagnosis.
When you share these exchanges and talk about communication, I get the impression that you think personal communication should be as precise and unambiguous as a legal contract.
I don't know if it's true, but that's how it appears to me.
I have to admit, I read your first comment about Asperger's as a comment about whether or not the OP HAD Asperger's. Perhaps just a description, such as you have here, would have sufficed. My son has Asperger's. "Autism Spectrum" is not an accurate substitution in my opinion. He is opinionated, but not so rigid. And, there is nothing sterotypical of an Aspie. Some people would never know my kid has it. Some have very profound disabilities with it. I would just caution using a diagnosis term to describe a behavior.
