I have an guy at a day program I work. He likes to approach me. He follows me around. He likes to ask me questions. He goes to my group sometimes. He also often leaves his groups to talk to me even though I’m busy. How do I deal with this, such that he will stop talking to me?

Hello antonio8: I noticed this is your first post here on MSF. So... welcome to the forums.

I don't think there is any advice I can offer with regard to your concern. One thing you might consider is re-posting your question in the Autism & Asperger's Syndrome forum. Perhaps some of the members who post in that forum may have some suggestions. Here's a link:

https://mysupportforums.org/autism-a...er-s-syndrome/

I hope you find being here to be of benefit.

P.S. One thing you didn't mention, in your post, that I believe may be relevant would be the intellectual level of the person with whom you're concerned. How one might approach the situation you describe might, I presume, be different if the person is of normal, or even high intelligence, versus a person who has mental retardation.

Sometimes I make up appointments or phone calls or commitments to limit people I don't want to talk to annoying me. There's a guy at work I don't like who's similar. Any time I engage with him, I'm super nice but always warn him "I have a call in five minutes" or "I have to head out in ten minutes for an appointment." Then if necessary, I'll interrupt him "I'm really really sorry but I really have to run or I'm going to be late". Is this an option?

How about “It’s been great chatting but I must get on” perhaps briefly saying what you’ve got to do/who you need to talk to if you deem appropriate.
