Family and Bullies

Roy

Hi, first of all sorry for my slight outburst yesterday. This weekend has been the first time we have had someone to stay since lockdown. I always find having people in the house very stressful. I thought as this person is family that it was safe to tell them of my autism. I got told that,  “ I just don’t like anyone” I tried to explain that I have trouble understanding people. I got met with, “ you need to try more and not make this autism thing all about you”. I felt that I was back in the school playground with a bully. This went on for about 15 minutes, I don’t know if I’m angry or disappointed, most probably a bit of both.

This person is supposed to be highly educated, she had been drinking, I suppose someone’s true colours come out then. She is leaving today and I hope she won’t return.

  • i feel for you mate it is confusing and awkward and you really can only reply with telling her to read up on what your going through also i wouldn't take it to heart or try to understand what she was going through as she didn't give you the same courtesy.

    I was recently diagnosed let my family know my mother "so its an excuse for how horrible you were being" ah no it explains it doesn't excuse it they either accept or don't
