[quote=Anonymous]She's manipulating you. She is not autistic (allow me to laugh!). It's the version of silent treatment, she's the "victim" as you dared to call her out on her behavior, pouting in the corner, waiting for you to crawl back to her with apologies. There's no need to apologize. Nobody apologizes telling another person to figuratively clean up their s* from the living room floor. She wants you to go back to your old self where you don't call her out. Don't do this. However, there is the other aspect that she is scared. This might be genuine. I bet you're not the first one who has called her out on her behavior and in previous times, it didn't end up well for her (cutting off contact perhaps?). So she's afraid of the "new" you. In any case, she was expecting that you'll apologize profusely at the lunch and things will go back to "her normal". Keep the line. [/quote]
