    There is a lot of public concern that people on the autistic spectrum will pester or stalk or behave obsessively towards others.

    I was accused of this a few years ago. At the time, I had depression and the person involved (who also has ASD) would constantly claim that I was obsessed with him and I pretty much denied this.

    On the subject of stalking, he posted a picture of his then work place on Facebook and I said (I think he knew anyway) that I sometimes go past there - not to see / stalk him, mind. Worryingly, I was the only person who replied to that.
