Friend's mom playing games with me

Post Reply New Topic

I had invited a friend to get together with me tomorrow night for a picnic. Like me, he is also on the spectrum. However, his mom told him he could not get together with me in person because of COVID-19.

1. He has Asthma
2. Other people might have the virus a
3. He was born prematurely

At the moment, we can do only talk via Facetime

That being said, she recently allowed him to get together with our other friends most recently. So I know she doesn't like me and doesn't want me around her son. However, that's nothing new. She has clarified that she doesn't like me many times in her tone and body language.

As hurt as I am, I confronted my friend about him and told him to ask her why she doesn't want us to get together.

It's not like I was teaching her son to do drugs, or getting him to take part in any risky behavior. If anything, I have been trying to encourage him to be all that he can be. The only thing she has complained about is that I "I talk too much."

He was born prematurely?
Is he 6 months old?

No, he's in his 30's but she gave a list of reasons he can't get together with me because of COVID. Yet, she recently let him get together with our other friends. I just want to know if there is something I did that she didn't like or approve of.

So I had him tell her that if she has a problem with me to come talk to me about it. According to my friend, she clarified that she doesn't want to be upfront with me. However, when he asked her about the zoo, in a few weeks, she said he could go. However, she said yes to him getting together with me one other time and then turned around and changed her mind.

Before COVID-19, she let him get together with me anytime.

She is being a bit of a b***h. Talking too much is not an excuse to exclude you from seeing your friend. Talking too much isn't a bad trait. She's just nitpicking. It's just another one of those odd, stupid behaviours from an NT that can't be explained.

@Joe90, I should have clarified. She said that about me in the past. She also made a big deal in the past about me calling her by her first name, which she told her son behind my back. She wanted me to call her "Mrs" and then her last name.

She also doesn't want to be upfront with me and made that clear to him last night.

However, she never seems like she is interested in her son's friends. Whenever she throws my friend a birthday party, she never seems like she wants to talk to any of us. Rather, she will talk to some of their parents. Yes, these are adult children with disabilities and sip wine with them.


During his last birthday party, which was last summer, I tried to reach out to her, but she didn't want to reciprocate

While I love my friend, I felt out of place that that party because it was designed for a 10-year-old kid. Though I love bowling and games where you win, I wish it was a bunch of our friends getting together and chipping on to celebrate.
