So, let's talk about the Aspie bubble for just a second here. What is the Aspie bubble you might ask? Simply put, its my personal space. Everyone needs it, but Aspies tend to need it just a bit more.
Most people who know anything about people with Asperger's know that we don't recharge like normal people. We recharge with alone time, quiet time, time sans people. This being said...
Family after being out in public or coming home from work: I love you, but you're in my bubble.
Coworkers who keep coming to my desk: You're in my bubble.
Waitress when I'm on the end of the booth: You're in my bubble.
Person selling stuff from a kiosk in the middle of the mall isle: You are so far in my bubble you make me want to find a high powered rifle and a water tower near you.
Anyway, you get the picture. Moral of the story? If your Aspie is starting to get over stimulated, let them be! Leave them alone! Let them recharge before they chew on your naval! Also, if you're an Aspie and you start to get overstimulated, find the nearest laundry hamper and dive in! No one will ever suspect it...
