Does invading someones privacy align with AS?

Post Reply New Topic

A friend of mine, NT, has an Aspie flatting with him, and he is trying to tell the AS "don't come into my room when I'm asleep!", but the AS "doesn't seem to get it". What's the best way to indicate the importance of not entering someones room when they are asleep without traumatizing the AS (or giving the AS the impression that he's evicted if he doesn't obey this particular rule)? Unfortunately the NT is on the verge of kicking the AS out, for this sole reason!

Just to tell him in a firm but friendly way that that's not on, but without threatening him with eviction if he doesn't comply. Ask how he would feel if the situation was reversed and your friend comes in when he's asleep.

The AS lodger should be able to be respond reasonably to a brief honest chat about what's not acceptable.

Is there any reason he'd need to? Does he need to get to the bathroom or access another part of the flat that way, or is any of his stuff stored there? (Shouldn't be but just checking..)

well generally autistics have stronger boundaries, and thus, are able to recognize those of other people. generally. its allistic trait to break every border we have, because they think its a joke. at least in my experience. tho maybe its simply an as*hole trait after all xD
