there's something about being around foolish people without a case of the olds really uniting us all together
perhaps we should go hang out at UNLV campus next vegas meetup - which I'd love to join in one of these days

One of the biggest things people on the spectrum struggle with is they always want 100% information while the general public doesn't care less. As anyone familiar with my writing will tell you, they skip over half of what I write
You need to start learning succint and to the point writing so I put in bold the only parts that actually matter to the story. This is an incredibly important skill for your future career for memos and emails, notes on meetings etc.
When dealing with others, you gotta understand nobody cares so keep it to only parts they may care about. Read just the bolded parts and see how post doesn't change in the slightest.
Now to break it down
This has no bearing on the story, but it actually makes your perception appear way off. He may not be good by our standards, but compared to the general population, a break even reg is in the upper tier of poker players.
For example, a lot of the online players you look up to are in fact rake back pros. I'm sure there are many here in the thread. Some rakeback pros have made millions.
I'm by no means calling him a good player and understand it's quite different than someone grinding break even super nova elite, but it makes you appear out of touch more than it makes him appear to be a bad player.
1. He probably picked up on it on his own.
2. He could have been guessing because you're socially awkward. People often call me autistic but only to be mean. I'm possibly on the spectrum for sure (so is Jungleman who has probably also been called an autist during arguments etc etc) but I'm nothing remotely close to full blown autist.
3. This is why you need to stop mentioning you are autistic in every post.
4. This is why you need to stop mentioning you are autistic in every post.

6. This is why you need to stop mentioning you are autistic in every post.
Seriously, it's developing bad habits of normalizing you introducing it. When you do that you don't gain any sympathy, you just give people ammunition to use against you and from here on out every interaction people have with you is not with 67o but with the autist guy. It dehumanizes you and installs emotional barriers. It gives people a reason not to become friends with you because they think it'll just be more trouble than it's worth.
first of all, really dumb to report it that way. Should have called the floor when it happned. Secondly, implying to the floor you'll fight the guy is more reporting yourself. Now they'll be watching you more than they'll be watching him. You should send a text apologizing to the floor, stating you obviously would never fight anyone in the poker room and regret that choice of words to convey how unhappy you were.
I don't see how any good can come from this. First of all, I know you're totally unaware of it, but you are not making peace here, you're insulting him.
You're telling him last night was about him sucking at poker and being jealous at you. Quite honestly, you have absolutely no idea why any of this happened. You're making big assumptions and then insulting him.
Scenario A: You're correct, he's upset you're better than him.
You're still being a dick by telling him he sucks.
Scenario B: You're incorrect and he's upset about something else.
Now he thinks you're just trying to escalate a fight by texting him about how much he sucks at poker.
Imagine if tomorrow you receive a "hey man i just reported you to the floor but hey let's be friends if you can get over how much you suck at poker"
If you must text him keep it simple and to the point, don't make any assumptions. Think clearly about what you want to accomplish and get it done in one or two sentences max.
For example: "You crossed the line the other night. I can't believe you'd say those things and have no understanding why that came about."
good luck man
just realize none of this matters, he's a drunk who's a 1-2 reg, not exactly killing it in life, not exactly someone who's opinion should matter to you
