I hear that autistic people are often deemed rude or uncaring. I was the opposite. Everyone saw me as very sweet, nice, kind, caring, etc. I never appeared uncaring and cold to anyone as a child. In my teen years, I did have some things slip through where I could come off that way, but overall everyone would shower me with compliments about how nice and sweet I was. I saw that other kids had a balance of someone being rude and nice to them, but I got an overwhelming amount of praise and kindness and smiles as opposed to people actively disliking me for seemingly no reason. Instead, I found people seemed to like me for no reason.
Apparently, I'm the type of person where you cannot imagine me doing something morally wrong or "dirty". I'm always abiding by rules, I know this so that could be why they feel this way about me. I don't know, it doesn't matter where I go people will always say "Oh she's great! I love ___!" even with people I hardly know, they seem to be very nice to me without me understanding why. I mean, I'm not complaining, but I find it very interesting. I've also heard it was because I was nice to them, but I hardly remember doing anything "nice" for people, I just do stuff at times and apparently I'm loved.
At one point I wondered if it was because they figured something was "wrong" and would just shower me with respect and kindness because they were afraid of hurting my feelings if they told the truth. Has anyone else been through the same thing, or am I looking too into it?
