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.

  • Thanks for your advice. Yesterday I had a massive panic attack in the morning over everything I just ran out of the house crying and went for a walk somewhere. I phoned another great friend of mine and he was a bit annoyed as I was seeing him at 11 then he could tell I was really upset as I broke down in tears and I told him what was going on he calmed me down and I carried on walking. I bumped into this elderly guy walking his 3 Labradors and I asked to say hello and he let me which was really nice. Anyway I met my friend at 11 had a nice day with him and he said I should speak to the staff members at the hub about this person and to inform them what their really like and to address my concerns before this person shows up.
