I don’t understand. I’m a nice, caring person and love attention but I always seem to get ignored. A new coworker (let’s call her Alisa) and I (I’m new too) used to talk but I guess when she found out I’m special needs, well, autistic, she doesn’t really talk to me as much anymore. Alisa avoids me, only talks to the other coworkers accepting me. I greet her and she give me a dull tone. The other two she chats with a lot and they love her. The kids love her so much which is great. Most kids won’t even speak to me, even when I greet them with a smile. Two girls (8th graders) only greeted the other three of my coworkers work in the classroom both but they ignore and pass by me. It always happens. Some kids look intimidated by me. Someone said I might of rubbed them the wrong way. Even some kids only talk to me when need help or need something from me but not to say hi or chatting with me. I’m 5’11 and plus size (size 18/20 and 240lbs). Alisa is 5’2”. One kid asked here his friend is and I answered him. He didn’t respond to me. When Alisa answered, he responded to her. What? The kids find Alisa a lot more fun. Some of my coworkers said I can be too serious and my height can be intimidating. When one of the teachers asked of some kids would like to work with me, they said, “NO!” One said, “Absolutely not. I wanna work with Alisa. She’s more fun!”. Another said I was boring and no fun. Alisa said that wasn’t very nice and they could have said, “No thank you.” I can be fun! I’m just uptight and don’t wanna look like a fool at work. Alisa avoided me when I was going though a hard time about my dad dying and never asked how I’m holding up.

Why am I always forgotten? Why do some people talk to others but not me?
