Do people understand that autistic people simply won’t bounce back from a breakup?

Like especially when you have other mental health disorders. you invested so much into the relationship because you truly believed they were the right person and now you are left empty dejected and always staring at the walls in your apartment alone.

most people don't understand because they're too selfish and too self-centered to care about others

if it wasn't for me calling this out beforehand right now, I'm willing to bet in some alternate future had I not put this comment up, some narcissist would've accuse you of being a whiny crybaby

[Asker]

It’s like it’s already rare to find someone and when that falls through you just become deeply sad

it's basically bullies justifying their bullying

I'd argue it is all people, not just autistic people. A lot of us completely break down after a relationship ends.

But I am sure people understand that autisric people also struggle with it and may struggle in different ways than others. Although mostly the same.

They can't just stay with you because you are on the spectrum. Sorry but it’s selfish.

I understand it can be tough.

On the other hand, a woman cannot stay just because you are on the autism spectrum. When she feels she has to break up I suppose it is her choice.

Considering how much of all the rest of autism they don't understand, what do you expect?

It depends on did ye break up? Who broke it off with who?

I just got broken up with yesterday and the guy ended it over what's app and blocked me. All because I was setting my own boundaries. I have autism and I've been suicidal since then. People don't care how they treat you. They care about their own narrative. Simple as.
