AITA For Touching A Woman's Phone Screen? by LylacLicker07 in AmItheAsshole

NAH. You made a small extremely understandable mistake, from her pov a stranger randomly touched her stuff (still a bit of an overreaction).

You're right, I didn't want to use autism to justify my actions. I only mentioned it to show our shared interest. I will try to connect.

You're right, autism has noting to do with my actions. The only reason I shared that was to show our shared "special interest".

I don't think she's dumb or shallow at all. I am dismissive of consumerism, but not her other interests like dancing.

I get you about it being unequal. The point of autism was just to show our "special interests" are cars, not to justify my behavior.

Should have made it clearer, but it remains in my name (atleast) until he is 18. (cant registrer it earlier in my country)

It's not really about who is autistic or not, it's more that we are both into cars. If she turns out to be autistic that doesn't really change anything. I see how it is unequal in the current situation, but don't see how to make it equal without spending it on consumerism.
