[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 462005, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]Trinity - that is EXACTLY it. Add to that her unusual tone (sounds demanding or like an announcement) and she has an odd way of speaking - as if she's reading from an old Jane Austin novel. I know everyone has their own ways, and I don't want to pick on her every little thing, but for YEARS (we're talking *20* years) I've been uncomfortable around this woman and felt as if she went out of her way to hurt me or make me feel unwelcome. And it is only in recent weeks that I've really looked closely at her behavior and my own (always second to looking at someone else's behavior - why is that? lol) and I've discovered that she really does have many Aspie traits (along with H as a close second). I cannot tell you all how big a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The next battle will be when H tells her it's okay to move in with us, which he basically did the other night without consulting with me. By the time she stopped talking that night and I was able to go to bed, H was sound asleep and we haven't had a moment alone to discuss this. She off-handedly said, "When you're finished with this here addition project you have going, I can rent a room from you!" giggle giggle, to which H responded, "Sure!" and laughed. I do NOT think he knew she may have been serious! And if he did, I'm going to have to kill him and hide the body. One symptom they share is a lack of comprehension when it comes to sarcasm and joking around. I VERY often have to tell H, "I'm joking, Hon". [/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
