And from there on, being misunderstood, misattributed and alienated just kept getting worse.
I’ll take “Shit that didn’t happen for $200”
What about this strikes you as so unbelievable? Having worked with non verbal people on the spectrum this seems entirely plausible from my own experience
My best friend in elementary and early middle school had a non verbal brother. He did literally this. Among a few other related things.
If he liked you he hid your stuff and made it hard for you to leave.
If he wanted you to go he literally went and got your stuff and tried to give it to you.
If he REALLY wanted you gone. He went and gave it to his father.
Absolutely sweet kid.
I had a friend who had a sister who did this. She was nonverbal if she didn’t feel fully comfortable. For the first few months I’d go over his house and she’d keep bringing me my stuff, then eventually I’m going to leave and couldn’t find anything, then I heard her say something like “you’ll never find it” and it scared the shit out of me because I didn’t know she could talk at all.
It wasn’t until after that that everyone told me what it meant.
