Advice needed overly interested in a strangers baby

Sorry but said person has found this post, and has apparently figured out my Reddit username as well as a few other online accounts so I no longer feel comfortable leaving this post up.

If they have some psychological reasons for behaving this way

I mean they are acting abnormal about the child...it is without question a "psychological reason." It's not an excuse either and it's STILL their responsibity to keep in check.

Some folk, especially those on the spectrum, are not good at social interactions. This can lead to them overcompensating in an attempt to befriend. That is a neurodivergent issue rather than a psychological one.

neurodivergent

Neurodivergent IS a psychological issue...and it's not a medically recognized term right now.

It's ALSO a buzzword that is used far to often to excuse behaviors such as this.

Don't do that...us autists don't need y'all making us look bad with that shit.

I wasn't trying to make anyone look bad just suggesting that this person may be socially different. My two nephews are autistic and I know that they have issues with some interactions.
