[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what should be said instead? Do we just say a person is weird/quirky? Or do we just not acknowledge their weirdness and pretend it doesn't exist?[/quote] Just start saying: Quiet Quirky Introverted Antisocial Person of few words Needs decompression time Not their cup of tea Tapped out Not interested We have a relative w HFA and he never wants to join in on stuff. Initially a new relative would naturally worry about him- why, is he feeling ok, have a bad day, pissed off by someone here, want to go somewhere else? So saying something, like, don’t worry about uncle John he needs his alone time, helps the situation. [/quote]
