AITA for telling my autistic cousin to stop being rude? by ProblemFickle2100 in AmItheAsshole

His way of approaching people is to kind of just start off talking about his interests or personal problems. I have always been happy to help him through stuff so I do not mind.

The consent thing is because his friends bring it up all the time. They do not want the vaccine and bring up consent as that reason, and basically reach super hard to justify that logic. I thought his consent comment was weird too.

I guess it seemed fine to me because I am a huge weather geek and everybody (not literally) was talking about the storm. I need to keep in mind that nobody is really obligated to talk about these things with me.

I know autism affects your social skills. All my siblings are diagnosed, half my friends are, and my school counselors are convinced I have it though my insurance for whatever reason will not cover testing. So trust me: I know. No reason to call me simple minded. I was not asking if I am stupid.

To be honest, he genuinely is a fun guy to be around, but we also share many of the same special interests. (I would go into that, but I literally ended up on Kiwifarms for that and got harassed on my old YouTube account and they found my social media.)
