#5 Rules: Following, Enforcing, and Rule Enforcement Pissiness (R.E.P.)
Written by SAPL on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 in Organization.
The Aspie is a lover of all rules. It is not enough to just follow them, in some cases, the Aspie feels he or she must create more rules and enforce rules on other people. Usually, the Aspie just feels he/she is doing the right thing because it’s what they learned and due to their impaired Theory of Mind and White Board issues (the way they learned it 1st is the way they will always see it), they can’t see any other way of doing it. Some may be driven because of anxiety of breaking a social norm and desperately wanting to do what is proper.
Still, others suffer from R.E.P.=Rule Enforcement Pissiness.
