[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 684872, member: 11791"] Just my experience here but... There is more to this than him "being fine for them". You sent an Aspie out into a social situation, when he was already stressed. Yes, he enjoys that particular activity, perhaps. But [I]it takes a LOT of mental energy to hold it together[/I]. And then he comes home, stressed out and over-stimulated and... takes it out on you. I get the tough divide between doing what they need and doing what we need - and I really do get the need for a break. But what you are seeing as a "reward" for him, may not be so much of a reward.
