I feel guilty now (as I should be)... I went to a birthday party for a family friend I have not seen in months. In this party there were a group of four kids all playing around, so at some point I decided to (awkwardly) interact with them. One of them from what I remember was said to be autistic (Aspie, just based on the fact that there wasn't much separating him from the others). While I was halfway playing with the others in my own awkward way, every time I would come across this boy... I would kinda gaze into the distance. I'm not sure what it was... me fearing I would do something wrong, or just... a part of me being defensive, worried what I might see in him as a possible reflection into what I was in the past. When I finally stopped being such a prat and glanced down at him, the biggest smile came across his face, and he exclaimed "He looked at me!"
Later on, they were all upstairs playing, and me being trying to be cautious, I stood by the stairs blocking it so they wouldn't accidentally fall down them, but for some reason or another, I moved away from them. While my guard was down, the same boy jumped down the first set of stairs, so I rushed over to him to make sure he didn't try that with the other set, and in that moment, I thought back to when I bolted across a street right as a car was coming. Not sure if I should just get this matter settled, or just bury it and keep it buried.
