[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband can get like hyperfocused like this on other people's problems and has trouble understanding when to back off. He has an ASD/ADHD profile and a stubborn personality. Our son also has an ASD/ADHD profile but he's sweet and gentle, and would never insert himself in this way. So I think it's a combo of neurodivergence (not being able to read social cues) and being stubborn.[/quote] Yeah, I would vote for neurodivergence. It doesn't sound like it's meant to be unkind. I think replying with sarcasm or in passive aggressive ways is just going to be misunderstood. I'd try to find kind and direct ways to let the person know they're overstepping. "The fact you keep bringing this up is making me feel pressured and uncomfortable. Can we talk about something else?"[/quote]
