So yesterday after class, I ended up running into one my classmates and complimented on her vest and introduced ourselves. It turns out that she is a cousin of a good friend of mine who also attends campus and like he has Asperger's too. When we talked about him, she had a very cold and distant tone. "Well I don't really know him. I only interact with him at family gatherings where we argue about politics." I told her how nice he is and she gave me this "Yeah, I guess." When I told her about all the things that her cousin and I have in common, it was "That's cool.":

well some people dont care about some other people) its normal, dont worry. i'd sugest keeping being friendly with both but not trying to bring them togather unless they do it on their own volition. sometimes ppl dont mix, its pretty normal. just dont press them for it, and u be fine with both)
