Hi yesterday me him ,and the school counselor met together. First the counselor met with me to tell me the change that next school year he only wants to be friendly ,not build a friendship up anymore I had a hard time adjusting to this ,I (basically) have autism but not totally. it took me about 2 hours to calm down. The counselor says he wants to meet together and tell me this. So we met and the counselor asked us where we wants to go with this ,Then he asked him before me and he says friendly I guess ,and then she asked me ,which I was scared to answered I friendly i guess too,i wanted to be friends but the words could not come out. Then the counselor explains what friendly is. So he told me what he wanted ,like i cannot walk to classes anymore ,or sit with him. so i was a very upset ,and the counselor help me express my feelings. Then after a while ,he had to tell me what he thinks of me and he says your cool ,a nice person and its fun getting to know you a little. i had a little smile on my face and then a while later he changed his mind ,he says i could sit with him mon ,and fri at school and still walk him to class. Then he put his arms out and we gave a hug. So then he left and the counselor talked to me and says i think he felt bad and it was nice of him to do that. Then later that day ,i was walking to the bus and he ran to me and we walked together. Btw we are both males. I am not sure i feel kind of guilty ,not sure what to do

I'm having trouble understanding why the counselor is managing your friendship with this other boy. Is the other boy on the autism spectrum as well? Is he required to see this counselor too as part of his own education program? How did you meet this other boy at school? What grade are you in?

Hi we both have are issues and my is giving personal space and his is setting limits with people. I met him at school and she set this plan up when i can sit with him and talk to me. and if i go over the limit he would try to tell me. and we i guess helped each other out this school year. Far as i know he is not autistic

I am sorry. I think you are being strong and handling it well. I'd love to help but hard to do without knowing you in person. I have students who are learning same skills you are learning. Boundaries and limits. I am sending you many hugs. Hope you have a good summer

You've already answered your own question regarding why he's doing this...

You seemed to have smothered him and he needed to set a boundary that's healthy for him.

You don't know what people do things for. No point. Just focus on learning social skills

Agree. Perhaps you're both learning social skills? I don't think they did things like this, in the past. It's at least not an all or nothing situation.
