(281 views)Okay, I'll say it again....
Looks like I've caused offense - not entirely my fault, I wasn't actually addressing the injured party, but still - it bothers me when I'm misinterpreted, I'm not out to upset anyone.
I have Asperger's syndrome, which (among other things) means my perspective & humour don't always meet up with the majority. I flagged this when I joined VR, and have also done this with (I think) most of my friends.
I like to think that most of you are cool with my occasional weirdness, and I've told several of you to please ask me "What do you mean by that" if I DO offend, rather than just getting angry - odds are I've misjudged a joke, or just not made myself clear.
Anyway, I'm flagging it again - I'm making an effort to explain myself for the comfort of all concerned. If it's not enough, frankly, that's tough - I have to live with this condition, people who feel hard-done by will get no further sympathy. Deal with it - I have to.

But I just thought I'd say that it was nice of you to inform everyone of your condition so we can understand you better. I childmind a kid who has Asperger's syndrome his sense of humour is great we giggle for hours!! Hope it all works out for you!! By the way your avatar is brill!!!

My Boyfriend's brother has the same condition so i understan more than most the effects it has. I think it's great that you use a forum like this. Firstly becuase it must help you learn and grow but secondly becuase it helps other people learn a little more about the condition.
