I know the difference between uncomfortable awkwardness and force. Being a weirdo is not equal to being a sexual predator.If someone is autistic then it should be known beforehand so a greater emphasis on boundaries can be applied.And as i said it was not just him awkward.
As a mother of two boys (one of them autistic), I’m worried. What if one of them has awkward sex one day and then the girl or boy they’re with runs off and tells the world that they’re a creep who made them uncomfortable, only for the world to respond by labeling them as predators? What is this? I’m teaching my kids to respect boundaries and watch out for others. I’m teaching them to respect what makes other people uncomfortable. But... what if?
Thin line, this one.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
