Help with NT Friend ?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I really need your guys' opinion on what my friend's been doing recently.
So last Thursday our school's drama program took a trip to Disneyland, and my best friend Lucy was there also. As you may know, Disneyland is really, really loud, and I forgot to bring earplugs for the trip.
On Saturday, our group went to see World of Color, and I ended up having sensory overload. I had my ears plugged all the time after because I was sure that hearing any more noise would give me a meltdown. Lucy tried to talk to me, and I kept saying that I could hear her still. Eventually, she said, "Fine, I won't talk to you, then." I ended up having a meltdown, and I walked back alone to the hotel.
Four days later, she still won't talk to me at all. I don't know exactly what I did wrong. Do you guys have any clues or ideas ? Thanks.

She's probably a little angry and and very confused. Does she know you have AS? She might not understand that you were just having a meltdown, and that you needed to be left alone, and been really ticked off that you didn't want to talk to her when you seemed upset and she was trying to help.
Overall, it sounds like a misunderstanding. If this person is a good friend then in time you should be able to talk it over with her and explain things.
