Comment on are my friends looking out for me or just ableist?
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThese are classic signs of abusive relationships, regardless of autism.
Trying to control and limit your interactions with others. Convincing you to abandon other friendships because those relationships pose a threat to their control over you. Preying on your own insecurities to further increase their power.

Totally agree.
Although as an outsider without any context I find it hard to “recommend” what to do, these are definitely red flags.
Also the comments about your autism are degrading and mean and your friend should know better. I wanna assume she just doesn’t know better, but that doesn’t change that she should really stop saying those things.
