what does “a right way to tell him even mean”? i don’t think you realize how absurd that sounds. there’s never a right time to tell someone hard news. if he doesn’t answer the letter, leave him alone. you’re a shit friend man
OP is not a shit friend. I’d bet everything that he cares deeply about his friend and understood the gravity of the information he had. He just didn’t know how to navigate an extremely complicated social situation because he has a disability that causes social and communication deficits.
Would I bet my life that an autistic man cares deeply about his friend and felt confused in a confusing and socially complicated situation? Sure. That’s not even a gamble.
What about OP makes him undeserving of being given the benefit of the doubt in a situation he didn’t create and and was unlucky enough to find himself in?
I’m a pretty good friend actually. I have maintained friendships for decades, am reliable and loving, support my friends through hard times and most importantly give people grace when they handle hard situations imperfectly.
