I am very sad about it because we had some fun conversations. The biggest issues is that she started controlling me and poking her nose in my business. She also couldn't seem to see past the autism and treated me like a lesser of a person. Then when I put my foot down, she seemed to have the need to be right.
For instance, I read from the Torah last weekend and when I walked by her she tried to hug me. "You looked like an angel up there." However, she really didn't seem to take much interest in me.
This is sadly common for people with autism. It's typical to be infantalised and when objected to, many can't handle that their stereotype of an autistic person falls apart and friendships ending, or at least blazing rows are common.
She made her mind up that she was going to treat you like a second class friend anyway. It's no loss in the long run, people like her harm reputations if you give them enough time.
She not only infantilized me, I was left at the bottom of her list as well. On a few different occasions, she would say things like, "I am sorry I didn't mean to leave you out." Then as I said, she made excuses about why she could not rsvp for my party.
Actually, it doesn't bother me that I wasn't at the top of her list because I have other friends. Second, I decided that she wasn't worth the effort because she couldn't respect me.
