I [17M with Asperger's] opened up to my friend [17F] of a couple years about some heavy personal stuff, worried that I have scared her off and that our friendship is over

Sounds like none of you have been close with some1 under the spectrum. Look op, my best friend in hs had aspergers, and while it was milder than what youre describing, i could tell he had it. But like,, that didnt matter? He pulled some wild shit sometimes but i cared abt our relationship enough to not let it phaze me. If im gonna be blunt, the ppl in this comment thread are being pretty hard on you. Opening up to ppl in this intimate way is a huge risk in any friendship, and reading ur replies it sounded like you had every right to open up. Now it def couldve crossed into the threshhold of emotional labor, but theres no way for us to know if thats the case.

N e ways she might just need a littlw space rn for whatever reason. I know i ghost on my friends like this semi-regularly (which is shitty i know but if yall try to come for me for this..). Life is a waiting game anyways so just ride it out and if shes a true friend shell come through when shes ready. If not i promise she is not worth ur time.
