I am proud of you for coming to that conclusion. We don't know and may never know as people are so funny.

I have found that people of other types of disabilities can also be really mean and can play some really bad games.

The same thing has happened to me before. I added a guy that I knew from orchestra, but a few months later he blocked me. I have no idea why, I never said anything to him.

Good decision. I don't want to sound pessimistic but some people are just w*kers

I have seemed to slowly get blocked by my peers who I went to school with that were in special ed with me. Like most of you, not once did they ever tell me what was wrong.

They were like that in school too where they never could pull me to the side and explain what was wrong either.

How do you know you are blocked vs removed from the friend list?

I my case it was the result of family still being able to see a persons page when I couldn't eve search for it. Blocking makes it impossible for you to be friends with someoen on facebook and make them a virtual ghost if you try looking for them Facebook dosen't tell you your blocked or why your 'friend' just vanishes.

Good news, when a friend deactivates their FB account, their name still shows up on your friend list but it's blank. That is how you can tell they didn't block you, they deactivated it. OP does the "friend's" name still show on your friend's list or no?

It could be that she thought you were contacting her too much by commenting and liking a lot of things of hers when you may not have had a close social relationship in real life. Some people can become uneasy if one person starts taking interest in their online world when they may have not had a friendship in the real world...but people like this need to understand that many people on the spectrum are simply more comfortable socializing online.

I agree with the other posters that NTs can be weird sometimes. If someone did this to me, I wouldn't mind it, whereas others might find it uncomfortable. It really depends on the person

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

Unless they delete their account completely, then they totally vanish and any messages sent to them come up as 'Facebook User' in your message list. I'm so fed up with people blocking/deleting/deactivating etc and the paranoia that goes with it that I'm seriously considering deleting Facebook too.

I have a thing called social fixer and it's a facebook application you can download and it tells you when someone unfriends you and when they deactivate their account. Problem solved. The downside to that is seeing who unfriends you and how quick they can do it and having to stress over if someone else had unfriended you whenever you go back.


Now I am noticing my friends are deactiviating their FB accounts and it seems to be more common. So far four have done it in short period of time. One of my old friends from elementary school did too. One of my old school mate's told me it's due to the BS and change in policy.

Facebook is so confusing. There are people that want you to talk to them on there and comment on their stuff or they remove you as a friend. But yet there are some who don't want you commenting on their stuff or talking to them so they remove you as a friend for doing that. Because everyone has their own wants, it makes it impossible to know what someone wants.
