That is actually NORMAL in life. We meet people we have things in common with for awhile then things in change & life takes us in other directions & we meet new people we interface with for awhile. It IS NORMAL to have these kinds of acquaintances throughout our lives. People who are there, not ling term but for a short season while we have things in common that pull us together.

We also HAVE TO BE CAREFUL that it is NOT OUR BEHAVIOR that is pushing them away. Similar to your bad behavior that PUSHED away your supervisor. Sometimes our behaviors can makebit so that people dont want to be around us after they get to know us better & it isnt that they are fair weather friends it that sometimes they find its just too stressful & too much work to be around certain behaviors & they leave FOR THEIR OWN WELL BEING (called self-care) That is exactly why I left my husband...because I couldnt tolerate his behavior any more & my own well being & mental health was in jepordy. Much better to leave someone before it gets to that point.

With ASD, you do not see how your behaviors are negatively affecting others so to you it looks like they are fair weather friends.
