Look I know you should not judge anybody before you get to know them but you can’t help how you feel about someone, even if they didn’t do anything to you. So my coworker who is autistic that I heard her mentioned started the same day as I did. We work at a school with children with special needs. Anyways she is a hard worker and nice but I think she’s too nice. She’s pretty intimidating too. She’s tall and no offense huge. Anyways she seems very boastful about her accomplishments, always talks about herself and she things she had to do everything. Some coworkers aren’t fond of her and some like her. There are other coworkers that can help out too and sometimes she never lets others have a chance. She brags about herself that she had experience working with special needs kids for four years and thinks she knows what they’re all capable of. None of us know until we know about the kid I corrected her about. She got defensive when I said that but it’s the truth. She keeps saying hi to me and tries to strike up a conversation but I just don’t want too. I’ll answer back and say hi and bye. When she asks how I am I just say good and quickly move to the next coworker. I hate to sound very blunt but I feel more comfortable chatting with the other coworkers than her. I just do. She gives me bad vibes. She once said something under her breath about me and that kind of threw me off. I wasn’t should of it was about me but I heard my name. I gave her a look and moved away. I didn’t scold her off because I wasn’t sure of she was talking about me. The only time I do talk to her is when it’s work related. I know it sounds mean but that’s how I feel and I’ve given her hints that I am not interested in talking to her. She doesn’t get it. She things she right but she is learning just like everyone else. She isn’t special and an adult just like all of us. She also brags how “special” she is.
Why won’t my autistic coworker get the hint that I don’t want to talk to her?
