Redditor's Responses To Girl's Decision Not To Change Way She Kisses Her Cat To Help Autistic Roommate

Kissing is one of the common ways humans show love and affection to each other. And, it's normal when an owner does the same thing with his/her cat. It's their choice to do whatever they want with their pet, as long as it doesn't harm the pet itself. But, what if someone stops us from doing something we'd like to do with our cats?
A Reddit user named @cherrimushroom has shared on r/AITA a ridiculous story between her and her roommate who is truly a germaphobe. While staying with her male roommate, OP (original poster) realized he was showing some signs of autism, but he didn't begin treatment yet. The autism made him overly sensitive to germs and take up a habit of keeping things clean and sterilized.

Things became worse when OP sat with her roommate on the couch and started kissing her cat on the head. The friend started feeling concerned about OP's saliva passing on the cat and going on him if he interacted with it. He wanted OP to stop kissing her cat or spacing out the kisses more. What the heck! OP thought it really crossed the limits and decided not to change the way she kissed her cat because of her autistic friend.

The cat owner wanted to know if she was an a**hole acting this way in this situation. Her Reddit post has amassed 9.6K upvotes and 1.5K comments from Netizens. Let's see how they reacted to the story.

People took the side of the OP instead of her germaphobe roommate. The fact that the roommate was suffering from autism didn't mean he could give such outrageous commands to OP.

A majority of Redditors agreed that the friend was weaponizing his autism and trying to manipulate OP. At this point, he was abusive.

Everyone with or without autism should be responsible for their actions.

More people supported the OP. See their reactions below.
