Recently I was at the gym (which is a family gym) and overheard one of the instructors telling the receptionist that there have been “complaints” about me.

Is it common for people with autism who go to these kind of places to cause a problem like this?

I was briefly banned from my local bar 2 years ago because there were complaints that I was ‘allegedly’ behaving really strangely.

The only things I could think of would be:
Talking to yourself
Using profanity

If it was me, I would take the bull by the horns. I would approach the employee and say "I couldn't help but overhear that someone was issuing a complaint about me. Is that true?" Then I would listen very closely to what they had to say. If the complaint was unjustified, I would let them know that there was no basis for the complaint.

Well have you interacted with anyone there? And if so how did the interaction go....without any sort of detail about what the complaints may have been about, it will be hard for any of us here to give any advice. Like have you gotten into confrontations with people or something?

Any idea what behavior you engaged in that they thought was really strange?

Well I walk with an odd gait and I suppose I stare at people too much sometimes

I think it's a bit over the top to make a complaint about that.

In bars women complain about men staring at them

People stare at me all the time, even in bars (if I do go to one). I don't make a complaint. I just live on with social anxiety.
