TLDR-I have dyslexia, tourets and getting my results for autism. I told my friend about my traits/symptoms, she has started copying them. I confronted her and she has now got our friend group against me.
So I was recently diagnosed dyslexia Touretteâs and am getting my autism results soon. After telling my friend (who we will call Sam) about my diagnosis, she asked about my traits so I told her about repetitive behaviours, stimming and tics. I have started to notice she âcopiesâ my traits, if I start rocking or stimming she will stare at me for a few seconds then start rocking/stimming as well, Sam loved to read and used to go through a 500 page books in a few days and now she âcanât read without getting words mixed upâ and âcanât read out loudâ but when it comes to reading in front of the class or doing a presentation she can read perfectly fine. Sam has also started to âticâ, I have caught her searching âTourette and autism symptomsâ on her computer, watching videos of people with Tourette and low functioning autism then copying their tics ,stimming and blowing in people face then saying âwhoops sorry I canât help it, its my anxietyâ Now this is where I might be TAH, I was very overstimulated and Sam turns around, screams âFuck you!â Then blows on me, laughs and says âsorry itâs my anxiety tics I canât help itâ then hits me in the back of the head and again blames it on a âticâ. I burst into tears and started yelling at her, saying she needs to stop faking disabilityâs and that itâs not âcoolâ or âtrendyâ and if sheâs looking for attention she needs to find another way to get it because itâs not working and everyone is getting sick of it. She threw her textbook at me and ran out screaming âfine Iâm not being friends with someone who thinks they know more about my mind that I do.â I havenât spoke to her since, she has gotten our whole friend group agains me, I tried explaining she never showed those traits before and how itâs such a coincidence that itâs the same traits I told her I have. I donât know if she just started doing them because she felt comfortable around me for if she was copying me, she doesnât have autism or ADHD, she got an assessment last year and they said she didnât have them. I donât know if Iâm in the wrong or if she is, AITAH?
