oh someone doesn’t like me? it’s because i’m retarded.
someone’s nice to me? they’re faking it.
you’re leaving me for them? please stay with me.
These 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.

Some people are probably jealous of your accomplishments/performance, and people aren’t nice when they’re jealous.
