Why is this guy giving me a hard time? Is it because I’m autistic?
Ever since I met him, he’s always picking on me for not picking up social cues fast enough. He criticized me for being a whiny crybaby because things don’t go my way and would tease me the most because I’m apparently “easy” and “need to come out of my shell and take jokes.”
He called out my family for talking to me like a “child” and “babying me” and start talking to me like an ADULT and stop hiding adult things around me and I’m old enough to hear the brutal realities of life. First of all, my family talks to me like any other person and I’ve been taught boundaries.
I mean he is a cool guy but I just don’t like him. He’s my brother’s close friend we met two years ago. A lot of people seem to like him for his sense of humor, jokes and makes people laugh. I don’t like him but my sister said, “He’s just playing with you. You can’t take that serious. He may be blunt and sarcastic, but he is a really cool guy. Just get to know him. Give him a chance (my name). People put you because he finds you interesting he’s always hard on you because he cares.”
He told me, “Look I will serve your family and some of them talk to you like you’re a child. Frankly I don’t like that. You’re an ADULT. Do you see how I’m not talking to you like they’re talking to you? I’m not going to baby you. They shouldn’t be hiding stuff from you. You’re a young adult now so you SHOULD be hearing that kind of stuff. Better get used to being uncomfortable all your life. Just because you’re autistic doesn’t mean I’m going to treat you like a child. I’m gonna treat you the same way they treat every other adult and if you screw up, I will call your ass out. I’m serious. I’m sick and tired of adults with disabilities being talked to like kids. Not gonna yell and scream at my face when I tell you the truth or baby you. If you’re capable enough to do that then you’re capable enough to be called out. I’ve even seen you yell at your best friend when you’re the one that asked for the truth. You’re not gonna do that to me. Don’t try me girl!”
Dude that’s why I don’t like him.
