my friend, since she found out I’m neurodivergent and hyperfixate, went from really liking me to pretending to like me.

she used to really value me, but now she doesn’t because i have autism and she doesn’t. idk how to feel, she rolls her eyes at me, gives me weird looks, and will just stare at me at times when i say something like “how was your day?” w/o responding.

i understand that she’s a sophomore who’s friends with my friend’s younger sibling, but it still sucks at any age.

    Like other comments said, speak with her.

    Question for you though, have you started comparing a lot of things to being neuro? I have friends that did this when they found out. It’s great that you’ve found out something, but for them that doesn’t change a thing. For them you as a person are still the exact same (except if you’re heavily sedated , that might influence behaviour a lot). Question is, do you want them to understand you or the concept.

    But again, go talk with her. If something is wrong in a relationship, there are always two at fault. Fault is going quite far, but often it’s not understanding or wanting to understand each other, misreading signals and who knows what.
