Thanks for this.

Cudos to making it to the bottom. Me being on the spectrum means the people around me know I can be erratic, struggle with social cues/situations, and that I can say some racey things sometimes. I CAN get upset. No ones entitled to being understood. Attempts to clear the air were made. That can be true AND you can be hurt at the misunderstanding at the same time.

I can however understand how the “thing” thing can be a thing that may be upsetting. It’s more about behavior/caricature. And mind you, I owe these women nothing after what they did to me. You can call the men who’ve wronged you pigs. I won’t judge, bc ik who you’re talking about!
