[quote=Anonymous]18 year old (ASD/ADHD) is similar. Makes friends quickly because she's "cool" and funny, and loses them very quickly - almost exclusively due to the "policing" you've described. She's both very insecure ("sorry, I can be socially awkward - omg, why did I say that. Are you mad?") and paradoxically is unforgiving of other's slight mis-haps or anything that she perceives as disrespectful of her. When I try to give her feedback on this behavior, she says "I'm not going to allow myself to be trampled upon!" She feels that she needs to confront people on their behavior constantly. She causes a lot of drama, and I'm really afraid she's going to become one of those exhausting adults we all know that we need a break from in the lunch room so sneak out without inviting. I'm hoping she'll grow out of it with maturity, but it's heart breaking because she desperately wants friends and can't see this behavior clearly. [/quote]
