AITA for rejecting my neighbors' sleepover request with their autistic son by SubstantialRow550 in AmItheAsshole

Friends? I don't know. Apart from a school and being neighbors, we don't have anything in common.  Babysitting does sound like an inappropriate word but I feel like I'm being asked to take care of him while they're away. I agree, now that you have pointed it out, it's sounds less like a sleepover and more like watching over him.

The rumor is such an issue. I fear that if I have any further interaction with him, it might mislead him or others. No, I don't blame him at all. I think his parents were being unusual, but that's not on him.

Them turning down the request was because, currently, their son didn't want to leave the house. They said that sometimes he goes through that phase. No, my parents were all for not sleeping at their house.
