My aspie spouse does this to everyone- me, the kids, the grandparents.
Starts walking and just shuts his brain off like he’s the only one on the outing.  It’s rude and self centered.  Or aspie too.[/quote]

NP.  My cousin's aspie DH and aspie DD both do this to her.  They get way out ahead of her and never look back to make sure she's ok.  I was with them recently when they did this, and she told me they do it all the time and that it really bums her out.  She doesn't understand much about Asperger's (which is probably the only way their marriage has lasted, since she keeps hoping he'll be nicer one day), but the connection seems obvious to me.  Zero empathy.

That said, not everyone who does this is an aspie.  My dad did this to my mom, with me, the only child, walking in between them, trying desperately to keep tabs on both, privately seething at my dad for being such an a-hole but also impatiently barking at my mom to hurry up.  I'm not exaggerating when I say it's really my strongest memory of our trips to Europe.  So much for experiencing a new culture; I was stressing about not losing one of my parents.

Yeah.  You hit a nerve.[/quote]
