How trusting are you? If someone presented themselves as a good person would you immediately take their word for it? How easy to manipulate do you consider yourself? I'm sure it's not just Autistic people who are taken advantage of. But are Autistic people easier to take advantage of? Do you present yourself as honest? And do you see other people as being the same as you? Because often they are not.
I would say I am very untrusting now because I was too trusting when I was young and was taken advantage of, including by people I thought were friends.
I'm very wary generally + vigilant hopefully too.
I've been wide eyed in many social situations and then later come to regret my innocence. For some people life is just a game. And they will use you up and spit you out.
