[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 284887, member: 1991"] Terry, if you had the patience (and I am the first to recognise that sometimes we just feel too burnt out!) I use opportunities like the radio, to teach difficult child 3 about the infinte variety of humen emotion and preferences. "I like that singer, but I just don't feel like listening to her today." Or you could say, "I like the singer but I have to feel relaxed enough to listen to her in small doses. She's not my favourite." To an Aspie, often saying you like something means "I am totally obsessed with this because it is my absolute favourite of all time." Because for an Aspie, that's what "like" means. So what you were trying to communicate, was in fact very complex and multifactorial. You were trying to say, "I'm too tired to have vocals in my ears, I preferred either no music or instrumental only today; sometimes my mind needs a rest from too much vocals." He also needs to hear, "your brain and my brain work in slightly different ways. There's nothing wrong with that; you arewho you are, and that is wonderful. But I am who I am, and tat is just as important." And the ultimate in our famiy - "when it comes to choice of music in the car, the driver gets to choose." You don't want an unhappy, distracted driver. Not safe! Marg [/QUOTE]
