The woman absolutely thought "That's some kind of innuendo. This freak is dangerous. He needs to get the fuck away from me."
That's not a normal interaction to have with your new neighbors. It goes beyond "social awkwardness" caused by his autism.
What you look like truly does matter. I know most of us who grew up in the last 3 decades have been thoroughly conditioned to believe "Don't judge a book by its cover", but I think most of us have shaken that bullshit notion. You absolutely can judge a book by its cover- what a person presents themselves as speaks volumes about who they are or want to be. And if some freakish, fat man with fucking pigtails wearing a dress approaches a stranger, that stranger will be very uncomfortable.
I might have threatened to make him leave, in the same situation, without mention of the police. I'd be sure to let him know that there'd be problems if I saw him lurking around my shit. And he'd cry and cry to his "support staff".
Boy, would I like to talk to this retard's "support staff". I'd like to see if I could make them feel terrible shame for encouraging this madness in this guy.
Why are it's support staff letting it wander the neighborhood? If we're paying them to handle it, society should get their money's worth.
