You live in a group home. Do you have care plan or stuff documented about your typical routines, risk assessments and more importantly preferences? If you do maybe you could write out your own version and see if they will support you that way as much as possible? Also, if you feel they are not treating you right, you could look up advocay services. Having an advocate may help you get your points across to them in a digestible way... I would not like to live in a group home, but while you are there. you need to find a way of making it work for you in some way Edited February 16, 2017 by Going home 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My experience is that NTs "pretend" that they think you're lying, but they don't actually mean to imply that they think you're lying. It's important to realise this, because while it is nevertheless a stupid behaviour it's important to realise that they are not accusing you of lying; it's just their way of responding to things. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point, it's hard sometimes (for me anyway) to know when someone is kidding around vs. being mean. I also notice NTs don't always understand when I'm trying to be funny. Bottom line: let them think whatever they want. You know who you are. Besides, it's hard for most of us aspies to lie in the first place. They may just be ignorant. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't get this... why would a person assume that you are lying without there being any evidence for it? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
