Can autism make someone stubborn as hell?

Why does everybody want to change autistic people or make them “get help”? The man likes blue shirts and sweeping the floor, and is happy with his job unlike 95% of everybody else. He says what he thinks and does what he wants to. These are not flaws.

You don't have to get married, have kids, have a nice job etc to be happy in life, I hate that bullcrap "normie" culture.

They're definetly stubborn af but this was awful to read lol

Oh shit yeah.

many people with autism don't like change, even for the smallest thing that someone without autism might find silly or strange. i'm guilty of doing that for small things sometimes too, though your friend sounds like a more extreme case. maybe your friend's parents didn't get him any help for his autism as a child which left his symptoms unchecked and still extreme even in adulthood idk. people with autism don't do it on purpose to annoy people or to purposely make things more difficult, it's just how some of them think which they often can't help.

there isn't really anything you can do cause he's an adult now and it'd be up to him if he wants to go see a behaviour therapist or not

Jesus christ.

First things first, I hope your autistic friend has better grammar than you.

He is not obligated to wear the shirt if he doesn't like it. If he doesn't like it, why should he wear the damn thing just to make you happy. And why the fuck didn't you just get him a blue shirt anyways?

Not everyone wants to get married. And how is saying wife better than than saying girlfriend? Not really any difference there, buddy. This whole paragraph is loads of bull.

Why do you care?

Again, why do you care? What's it matter to you if he decides to take that promotion or not?

Every autistic person I know (myself included) are the most stubborn people i've met & will not do anything they don't want to do without some kind of substantial reward & some still wouldn't do it not even under threat of punishment.

The only experience I have with autism is telling my autistic (child) brother to stop throwing a tantrum and hitting himself because his penis is erect.

So, that sounds about right, to me.

Yes it does. We dont tend to be able to change easily, for some it is even more difficult than others.
The brain isn't wired "normally" with autism and you develop routines to make yourself feel safe and some people can only eat one food or like your friend wear only one color. It is similiar to OCD in that sense. It would be abusive for you to try to force your friend to wear green if he only feels comfortable wearing blue and your friend isn't being rude. Your friend will be better off without you if you aren't respectful.

My man I'm not manipulating anything I only brought it up twice I've been friends with him for a while and it was so light hearted and casual I'm chill you know what I'm saying homie

Yes. That's 1 of the characteristics of autism. They dont like anything out of their ordinary routine. The movie Rain Man showed this very well.

I don't bitch about it it just seems shady ya know what I mean something is up and I don't want him to get hurt

Actually it's not normal for a neurotypical lol. Bro most people get married if they love someone to not only finalize their love but to save a shit ton of money because you get more benefits. Also if you're not married and your partner gets real sick they won't let you see them because it's family only. And he wants kids with her HE'S A SWEEPER she's a part time maid he talks about it all the time how he's gonna have kids and I'm like bro you both don't even have enough money. He wants to honeymoon in Hawaii like bro what is happening he makes like $8 an hour she works like once a week for 4 hours

The stuff with the girl has nothing to do with being stubborn.

But you can say that about a non autistic person.
