Is my new friend also autistic?
I recently became friends with a girl that is super odd in a mostly good way. Even the non good ways aren’t that big of a deal.
She will randomly message me things such as pictures of a snack she bought at a convenience store. She’s also sent me many unsolicited pictures of her cat. One time she sent me pictures of her friend’s (that I never met) vacation. She also randomly texted me a picture of her with a hockey player she met six years ago.
I saw a movie with her yesterday. After it was over, she noticed in the credits that there was only one graphic designer for the movie but multiple ones for Lady Gaga’s cameo. She seemed oddly amused by this and told a stranger this behind us after she told me.
She legally changed her name to the name of an ancient Egyptian queen.
She mentioned having a young adult daughter once but never mentioned her again. Mathematically, she must have been a pregnant teenager to have a young adult daughter.
She casually brings up extremely traumatic experiences she has been through such as being raped or abused in other ways like it’s nothing. Im always uncertain what to say when she does this.
I told her I’m a nudist and she seemed super interested. She wants to join me at a nudist resort once it’s warm enough and we now hang out naked together when we’re at my place.
We haven’t known each other that long but she’s said multiple times that she thinks we will be friends for life (and I hope we are) because we don’t want to date but friendship doesn’t end. She also often tells me how much better I am than the many awful people from her past because I’m not like them.
She isn’t sure what religion she is and often goes to different churches that are a contradiction to each other.
