Ah, so not something we of the 'tism need worry about. The only way I respond to wrong numbers is by blocking them.
- BadHumans 3y agoI sent a text to wrong number last week and I'm grateful the recipient let me know it was a wrong number so I wasn't just sitting there waiting for a reply from my friend that was never going to come.
- digging 3y agoMostly, although autistic folks can also get extremely lonely and we all present differently. A few years ago I actually got one of these "random wrong number" texts and, although I thought it was real and responded, I just didn't engage when they tried to keep talking. I did suspect it was a scam at that point but even if it hadn't been, I was not interested in meeting any random person - statistically we would not likely get along!
