It wasn’t a pharmacist, just a regular cvs employee but yeah I 100% believe that

What? They’re just curious about more detail, hence why they said “do you mind”, to be extra polite They’re trying to be conversational and inviting you to share more

No, we believe you, I’m just curious

A lot of us autistic folks have been pressured to share more info before people believe us about the discrimination we go through. Basically a lot of people pressure us to “prove” it. I have had to deal with that a lot. This is an anonymous app. I don’t always know people’s intentions.

Thank you for clarifying your intentions. People in my queer community in my city have not been the kindest and have pressured me to “prove” myself that discrimination happened to me so I just was not sure your intentions of asking that question

I don’t feel comfortable sharing more in detail right now

Also no offense intended. I just really need a break from thinking about this right now

Okay, I can understand your trepidation. I’m autistic too, if it helps any. I just wanted to be explicit that this person has good intentions. Maybe my “what” was a little too rude, I got protective of them.

Don’t want to press OP for details since they stated they’re not comfortable sharing but I’m also an autistic pharmacy tech

I understand that a lot of people are curious and possibly nosey, but these days I no longer feel comfortable disclosing in detail about traumatic things that happen to me unless I know someone actually wants to know because they care about me. I am just tired of sharing things just so people can be entertained by shit. I have been burned way too much by this

Also no offense, but none of us are entitled to have certain information about each other just because we are curious and I think that’s a good reminder. Sometimes I think our curiosity can get the best of us. And we are all strangers on this app. There was no way for you to automatically know that person had good intentions without them clarifying.

I mean… I can’t for certain tell that that’s what the asker meant, but it seemed rather obvious to me. And if that’s not what they meant, a lot of people would also be curious in a concerned, sympathetic way that I interpreted it in. Hence all the upvotes. I’m sorry you had to experience this whole trauma regardless.

Just because something is obvious to you doesn’t mean it is for everyone. Autism is a spectrum and some of us have gone through a lot of fucked up bullshit and trauma. Having upvotes in here doesn’t mean much to me. My experiences and feelings are still valid and no one is entitled to pry into my life just because they are curious.

We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this. Right after going through trauma, I am not always going to want to share every single specific nitty gritty aspect of my experience. This is also a super public YY space. Not everyone that is here is a good person here and it’s not irrational of me to ask clarifying questions. I have experienced autism hate in this group from folks that aren’t even autistic.
