Not sure what to do

Hi today I went to my local autism hub it’s a place I go to most Saturdays and I socialise with people play games or just chat with other autistic people. Today someone turned up someone I’ve not seen in years. I was not pleased to see this person as a few years ago this person made my life hell. This person used to be physically abusive towards me and stole money from me and I cut them off completely from my life. People noticed my cold response to this person and I couldn’t explain why I was so rude not with the person that abused me in the room. I know you shouldn’t hold grudges but I feel I can’t trust this person. I want to keep going to the hub as I enjoy it the staff members love me and my sense of humour but I don’t know how to manage with the let’s say newest member there.

  • Dear Rach91,

    That sounds like a really challenging situation to be in. I am really sorry that this has happened at your local autism hub, I hope you can still enjoy time at your hub as it seems like its a place that really matters to you. 

    I agree with some of the other community members, it may be helpful to have a chat with the staff members- if it is difficult to get hold of them when this person is here, there may be an email or phone number you can get hold of a staff member ahead or after the session on. 

    I am really glad you reached out to the online community. I hope that the comments on your post have been helpful for you. If you need any further support, please reach out. 

    Best wishes,
