well, I think you have to treat this young man like a 10 or 12 year old kid.
when he takes your chair and doesn't give it back, you must tell him that your legs or feet or whatever hurts when you stand too long and he needs to get up and let you sit down again.
when he overstays his welcome, you must simply tell him that it's time for him to leave now... but he can come back tomorrow or day after tomorrow or whatever.
If courteous but direct talk doesn't sink in, you will have to tell his parents.. and after that, the park manager. Y
It isn't fair to you or your friends to be expected to entertain a stranger just because the stranger doesn't understand socially polite rules of behavior.
Nicely stated. It's unfortunate and can be unpleasant to have to be direct and blunt (at least for me, it is), but there are times that it's required.
It doesn't need to be unpleasant. I work with children and adults who have autism They often struggle with social cues so they don't realize when they're being a pest I find that if I just tell them directly they do not take offense. I really do want to fit in but so they have to be tol. about people wit about people with autism is so being direct wit so being direct with them plays into that rule seeking.
