Summary: how can I bring it up to ask someone to stop putting their contaminated things on my clean things?
This may be more of a girl-issue than an autism issue (girls are often raised to act like servants) but does anyone have trouble speaking up to tell others what your boundaries are?
Ex. I have a neighbor (same building, same hallway) who has had bedbugs for months. She's okay mostly--maybe bossy and stuff but she's unlikely to turn serial-killer on me or anything.
Anyway, she keeps putting her bedding (which hasn't been cleaned since the bedbugs) on my things and I want to ask her to not do that when she has plenty of other places she could put her things and most of my possessions cannot be heat treated so I would just have to throw everything I own away...again.
I can't seem to make the leap to bringing stuff like this up without it being awkward. (She also really doesn't like people disagreeing with her even when she's clearly wrong.) How do I casually bring that up?
