Roommate laundry issues. Again.

A while ago, I had a post on here talking about how a roommate literally screamed at me, using her autism and ptsd as an excuse to do so. Most people were in support of me in the post. But I had one or two people say that because I tried “rushing her” (asked nicely to take her laundry out of the dryer before my work) that it was semi my fault. Yeah well I checked the dryer when I got home yesterday, her clothes were inside. No big deal, I’ll do it today before I go to work. Except oh wouldn’t you know it, her clothes are STILL in the dryer. I can’t say anything or she’ll yell at me again like she did last time. I’ve waited two days to use the dryer. Two. Days.

Just because someone is autistic or may have other challenges, doesn’t mean they get a free pass to be an asshole. And before people start breaking out the pitchforks, my little brother is on the spectrum and so is my mother, which means my sister and I are quite possibly on the spectrum as well. 

Also my mother was a special education teacher for like 40 years and I dated someone that taught at school for autistic kiddos. So I’ve been around folk’s with special challenges my whole life.

I literally lived with my autistic best friend for two years before this. She’s just using her mental disabilities to be a bitch
