Stalking? I don't know anymore

||The school lunch room used to be a place I looked forward to but now it’s something I heavily dread. I feel like I’m overreacting but it started with just a question from him. I was in line, he asked me something. Ok. Sure. But it’s escalating to the point where as soon as I enter the lunch room, he follows me. It’s not hiding either. It’s directly behind me. Follows me to the table. Follows me, asking me the same thing. I try to tell someone about it, but every response is “oh he just does that.” “Oh he’s special needs don’t worry about it.” I know he is. Why is that an excuse? Just because he’s special needs, it gives him the right to do that to the point I don’t feel safe anymore? I feel like he’s going to go further. Recently I’ve been escaping to the library or sneaking to a different hallway with someone’s help, but he knows where I go and he’s going to come there. No place is going to be safe.||

13-16, and yes, autism

#

we feel like people just use that as an excuse though, nobody tries to redirect him or tell him something’s wrong even if they notice, it’s just “oh he’s neurodivergent DW abt it”

U should stand up for yourself more cuz just cuz this guy is autistic doesn’t give him the right to make u uncomfortable or allow adults to not intervene

Well this is normal

#

Since autistic people are like that

#

follow people bc they want attention

#

As someone who is autistic it still doesn’t make it ok to break boundaries especially when you’ve vocalized them myhonestreaction
