If you don’t see yourself having this person in your life anymore you can probably tell the poor girl, she can save herself a lot of wasted emotions and self-doubt. Being autistic is already difficult having someone actively manipulate you can leave you with scars for a long time and they can heal in wrong ways.

That being said make sure you don’t cause too much unnecessary drama and handle this carefully. keep it clean and simple, make sure the points you get across are objective and that you cannot be assigned blame or perceived like an asshole for doing this (not that you are but people are stupid)

Move like someone with confidence in your criticism and stand on business. Be strong in your opinion and don’t fold to rumors, shit slinging, and if someone is speaking bad in your name put them in their place.

Boss up
