Need advice / help
Hello everybody!
I'll cut to the chase. There is this girl in my college course who is always being picked on. She says something in class and everybody mocks her because she asks the most random questions.
Well, I just thought she could use some company, so I sat beside her in one of my lectures and said, "Hi."
Well, within seconds of talking to her it was pretty clear that she is autistic or has aspagers or something similar -- she started asking me insane questions like, "What's your favourite type of meat?" or "What age did you first get a job at?" and that sort of thing.
Now, I really mean no offense to people who have learning / mental difficulties but ... she's started following me around all the time and I don't really know what to say. I'm also not really sure how to handle her. She, lovely though she is, talks in completely strange ways about things I am uncomfortable talking about. I really don't know how to go about handling this because I am worried that a wrong move on my part, which would be easy considering I am ill-experienced in this sort of thing, could really hurt her.
Any advice?
I've prayed to God over the matter, but I thought I'd ask here too.
Thanks.:smiley90:
