What do you do with someone who hurt you because of your autistic behavior? It could be someone or even a group who bullied, gaslighted, or mobbed you in the past. What do you do if you meet them somewhere?

Personally, I'm much stronger and more physically capable now, so I'd likely ignore them entirely. If they talk to me cordially, I'll be polite and minimal in my interaction. If they're dicks, I'll leave. If they get physical, I'll fuck them up.
