I have a routine that I stick with. If that is changed or altered without my knowing, I get upset.

I go thru stages of collecting things. For example, I am still in my religious stage where I collect religious icons. When my older sister died, I received so many. It was overload. Rosie had to help me with this. It was just wayyy too much.

Then there is my obsession with the weather. I even have a chart for hurricanes. I focus in on just 1 thing of the weather. That is it. Anything else is boring to me.

The one thing I cannot stand is when someone refers to me as retard or asks me if I am schizophrenic. I am at a loss of what to say. I have ocd, and depression from being constantly frustrated. I am just not good with words. They tangle me up.

I've highlighted the part that sends me screaming, until people can learn to stop judging others based on what they precieve and instead get to know a person, learn about their condition before placing judgement, it truly looks bad on society. At times it's a if we're in the 50's where Aspie's and MR people were locked away.
Shoyuld it be in passing that you meet an Aspie person don't judge them try to understand or merely zip it and walk away.
Andrew so sorry this happened to you. Hugs
