Hello. I was diagnosed with ASD a few years ago. I am a middle-aged woman. I was bullied as a child and was an oddity.

“Well why didn’t you think of that earlier” “Didn’t you say you hated that” “Why are you going back there now” What is driving a person to reply this way when you only simply talk like a human being with needs and hopes to feel better.

I don’t necessarily hate them or anything. Just any form of media that includes someone crying causes me extreme discomfort.
