And I have autistic friends who would straight up never forget being told something that cruel, even if they agreed they were being boring. Partly because they would agree they must be boring.

It's like you can't paint everyone in a broad category the same or something.

My autistic ass would never speak to someone who said that to me ever again. How could I? I'm so bad at being a human I was told to my face I'm not even worthy of the basics of human interaction politeness. How could I ever bother them again? I'd be inclined to just hide in the house for ages also.

It's not like the healthiest method but I just. How would I deal with that? And god forbid it was in a group setting, I'd probably burst into tears as well.
