Do people confuse autistic people as nice guys? Are some people uncomfortable with you because they think you are a pushover? A pushover may appear weak, but their hidden strength, quiet intensity, or restrained anger can make others uneasy.

    You might be mixing up being ‘untrustworthy’ with simpler misunderstandings.

    Something along those lines. If you have difficulty communicating your boundaries, you may appear “nice”, especially if you are a shy person.

      Yeah.

      I guess I am treated as ‘unreliable’ over my weird behavior, like I’m being babied. Sometimes dismissed or ignored.

      I am wording all this really poorly. Hell, I’m still trying to figure it out myself.
