Ways To Annoy Someone with Aspergers or Autism

• Make chit-chat about events in the news related to sports, celebrities or other obscure pop-culture subjects before the first cup of tea or coffee.
• Insist on eating out at Chuck-E-Cheese or a similar place full of flashing lights, competing noises, and crowds of loud, shrieking children running around.
• Serve them a meal composed entirely of new, unfamiliar dishes.
• “Hey– hey– space cadet — snap out of it!”
• Schedule a trip with social events all day and evening long.
• Announce that anyone who can’t tolerate certain kinds of fabric or clothing styles is just being picky.
• Install a major software update (or change other settings on their computer software) because you think it will “make their life easier”.
• Give them a surprise birthday party after a long day at work (school).
• Put things out of order.
• Dismiss their special interest as being stupid.
• Deprive them of internet access.

Thanks for the great list from Andrea.
