He has enough smarts to get himself into trouble and not enough to get himself out of trouble. He can throw insults, but they're the same old ones time and time again. I know we're intense and throw a lot of insults at each other, but 99.44% of the time we're joking. He's still immature enough not to know how to shrug off a perceived insult. I'm not ignoring the ruthlessness of some of his posts
I'm not implying that FA will make such improvements with himself so as to be unrecognizable. What I try to remember is that Aspergers is Autism. Within the diagnosis of Aspergers we have a spectrum of quirks and interests, abilities and disabilities. FA may be at the deeper end of the spectrum and I'm willing to give him some slack and an occasional smack when he deserves it.

I know you're right, and the little angel that sits on one of my shoulders says be nice to those less fortunate than myself. Sadly the little devil that sits on my other shoulder keeps reminding me how much it can be fun teasing him.
I am trying to be nicer to him, and I think he knows that I am only having a bit of fun with him, and I don't mean him any harm. I don't think I'm all that mean to him. I'm definately not as mean as I could be to him.
I hope I'm not being a total bitch to him, and appearing to be a nasty person, because I really amn't a mean person.
I suppose one of my problems is that I really have very limited understanding of boundaries. Sometimes I say something that I think's funny and others find it very offensive. I do have a tendancy to cross these boundaries without even knowing it.
