Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : A few years ago I was friends with an autistic kid a year or so older than me, but he was held back so we were in the same grade, and I didn’t really like him, but he was troubled so I felt sympathy for him and hung out with him because no one else would. I even got him a FNAF stuffed animal for his birthday.
Last year or so he got into my gym class and he’s been trying to get closer and closer to me, and I just simply don’t want to. 
Recently this year, i’ve been trying to make friends with a few new kids, but they really dislike this kid, i’ll call him J for short. The guys i’m trying to be friends with seem to like me as a friend as well and I think it could result in a good friendship, but J is stopping me from trying to be friends with them as he won’t stop following me and interrupting me but I don’t have the heart to just tell him I don’t want to be friends with J anymore.
