Things that often happen to you when you're autistic:
* You have no friends.
* You have lots of enemies.
* People blame you for things you didn't do or didn't intend.
* People infer maliciousness or negligence where there is none.
* People are violent without instigation.
* People do not care about your welfare because they believe you do not deserve or need care.

This happens when you're a kid, not just when you're an adult. And as a kid, you don't have the benefit of wisdom learned from the "school of hard knocks" so it's not clear how to defend yourself, nor why it's even necessary. You end up internalizing the social signals you receive to mean that you, as a person, are inferior and undeserving of love, not just by one person, but by *all* people.

@hosford42 Story of my life. People on both sides of the fence need to see and understand these things.
