My dude, the social que was missed.
It was not verbalized what she wanted.
The average person may have gotten the social que. But I did not, i missed it completely, which to some credit i should have inquired more about.
But hindsight is 20/20, i understand alot more social ques as i have aged and gain experience. And this is a constant reminder, on troubles i face on the daily. Being autistic isnt a vilification for any action, but it also needs to be takin into account. And what the persons original intent was aswell as where they are on the spectrum.
Saying autism is a lump some cover for hanus intent is a lie and dispicable
But just like how autism is a spectrum and not just one diagnosis, there should be a moving range of understanding.
“High-functioning autism was historically an autism classification where a person exhibits no intellectual disability, but may experience difficulty in communication, emotion recognition, expression, and social interaction.”
In this refrence from wikipedia, it clearly states high functioning autsim stuggles with communication, and this true.
I do not tell alot of people im autistic because many people see autism as down syndrome. Which i sympathize for but try to inform them that autism is a spectrum. Many people including close friends didnt believe me when i said i was autistic. Because in qoute “i didnt act weird” i have grown alot as a person through out the years and appreciate all the effort from my family and therapists to get to this point.
There are still certain textures and sounds that upset me, but i can now tolorate them.
She explicitly told you that you were creepy and to stop stalking her. I don’t know what more you could expect from someone. You don’t get to decide if your behavior makes someone else uncomfortable or not.
Didja try reading the entire post?
This one is the part where he should have stopped talking to her.

ASD here and i can absolutely see how that was presented to OP as and read as a misunderstanding that required clarification
