The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Self-control is within your reach. When you feel yourself beginning to laugh, you must focus on something morbid or sobering. Alternatively I find a good aggressive pinching of the skin (to the point of pain) can also help. I haven't avoided this altogether though, but I find the results I do get come from a very determined effort.

I have no problems, just challenges!
I am not so sure you are talking about knowing not to laugh and doing it anyway as much as it is you find something funny and then find out later it was inapproriate to laugh at that time... happens to me too
knowing when to react in which way for Aspies is a tough call... you are not alone.
It seems almost like others have this secret code going on and I am the only one not in on it. But now that I know it is not their fault anymore than it is mine... it is easier to have compassion for both them and me... now as to how to make it happen less often in the furture...well... I am choosing to work on learning better people skills...or at least lag back with my laghter a moment or two and laugh with them instead of by myself... sometimes... sometimes...if find something funny and I am the only one... oh well I figure they missed out on some pretty good humor.
Sometimes I say things I am thinking and don't even realize that it actually came out of my mouth and sometimes it is just the opposite...I think I answered someone and nothing ever came out...
others think I am rude and disrespectful... those who choose to get to know me know that it is not my intent to be disrespectful... and find them to be a little more accepting of me... and sometimes even helpful by giving me more obvious cues without embarassing me in front of others... but until I began to accept that I simply do that sometimes their acceptance never mattered...
Yet despite it all it can be extremely frustrating when your intent is to NOT do it. Perhaps finding Grace not only from God but from yourself might be of benefit to you?
