Hvilken lov er det snakk om?

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Norwegian language: Som jeg nevnte før har jeg vært ute halvnaken på vinteren i snøen rett ved veien for å late vannet grunnet at jeg ikke ville tisse i buksa sittende i annen person sin bil, og dette har hendt meg før et par ganger i baksetet som passasjer. Jeg husker å ha glemt å betale for mat på utesteder/kafé et par ganger da jeg enten var beruset eller psykotisk så dømmekraften og hukommelsen sviktet. De uskrevne lovene er vanskelig for autister å følge intuitivt, derfor har jeg brutt disse lovene ofte uten å mene det bevisst og gjennomtenkt.

Social rules? Definitively yes!

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Note: this is mostly about my own history, including school and my mental-health conditions.

Being autistic/Aspergian especially without diagnosis can lead to strange ways of breaking rules. I asked questions about taboo topics and tried hard to hide my genuine self from rejection due to experience with very mean girls. I could not stop talking when I was anxious or manic, laughing at odd things and so on.

I also escaped from school whenever I could, knowing it wasn’t right according to the rules. My judgement was affected by bipolarity and severe psychosis and I don’t blame my child/teenage self for this behaviour, it got too much with the bullying and my Norwegian supremacist teacher who disliked me a lot.

(Btw if you don’t know my story I’m of mostly Sámi indigenous and Kven/Finnish origins along with the Norwegian ancestry, including around 1/4th Southern Scandinavian and of course significant Northern Norwegian).

I spent my truant days outside by the main road sitting on a very large rock while listening to music on my mp3 player, and trying to ignore the abusive voice-hearing and the shame related to my enuresis episodes in public spaces and the chronic bedwetting condition. I was very passionate about music and still so today.

I hope your days are good and that you had some happy moments during your youth years, I had fun sometimes even though my psychosis and bipolar was severe. Well wishes from Norway ❤

Energy drinks and the cans of cider by the road

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

WARNING: MAY BE LITTLE TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

I had a taste of an energy drink before it was legal in Norway, this was at age 13 in 2006. I didn’t buy them, someone else had bought in Sweden (we lived in border regions). Many years later I had some cans of cider before getting in the car as passager and this unfortunately made me almost have accident in car. But I just avoided this luckily, my relative told me to sit by the road in the cold snow hahaha could not be relieved anyway. I made it home in time. Another time it was successfully done, but this was in very remote areas. Sorry for being very strange now, I’m silly and quite manic!

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

I’m not exactly certain if it was illegal but I’ve driven a snowmobile without official lessons or lisence at age 16. And btw it was great fun!

another time I was a passager in a relatives car when the police saw her ‘forbikjøring’ in risky way. We were lucky the police man was kind to us when we were asked why.
