I have autism (diagnosed since 2004) and I have also been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and depression since 2016.
It can be difficult for me to truly understand what people mean or exactly what they're saying, due to the fact that I may not understand certain social cues, even in my mid-20s. Please be patient with me.
If I don't respond to you immediately, please do not rush me. I have a life outside the internet and social media. I'm not obligated to respond immediately.
Because of my anxiety disorder, I become nervous very easily. If I become upset or act outside my usual behaviors, don't be too alarmed or bring too much attention to it.
All I ask is for folks to respect my boundaries and not be problematic with me.
Forcing me to play games with you or join voice chats or group chats. I choose who to talk to and what I want to do. I'm a grown adult, not your child.
Ask me for personal information only to use it for nefarious purposes and/or malicious intentions (doxxing for example)
Forcing me to get involved in drama, no matter if it's petty or not. I do not have time for such ridiculous requests. Leave me be and let me live my life and respect my opinions.
Gaslighting and other forms of manipulation. If you say anything I find suspicious, such as lying about me to my face, I reserve the right to no longer interact with you for safety reasons.
If you support pedos, zoos, or other creeps that shouldn't be roaming free.
Asking me for money or ask how much money I have (INSTANT BLOCK! This lead to me getting scammed twice and I DO NOT tolerate this behavior)
Messaging me constantly (like every few minutes) just to annoy me, especially if it's about something I know nothing about.
Continuing to bother me even when you're asked to stop. "NO" MEANS "NO!" It's common sense!
Holding me at gunpoint over minor things or forcing me to keep secrets about you when you know you've done something wrong.
Continuously screaming at me for any reason (I'm incredibly sensitive to being screamed at and it will make me cry)
Falsely accusing me and/or my friends of being a creep or starting beef without any proper evidence presented
Asking and/or forcing me to apologize and/or unblock someone. I do not owe anyone an apology if I believe I have done nothing wrong in the situation.
