My friend (F29) doesn’t want to request me to her 30 birthday party, because I’m (F26) slightly autistic and might annoy her friends with my bluntness. Is this a valid concern?

My friend of 10 years is turning 30 in a few days but hasn' t asked me. Some of her friends don' t like me since I' m mildly autistic and can be blunt and straight forward, which they don' to like. She says we are able to hang out 1 on 1 instead to celebrate her, but that she wants a birthday party to movement without any issues.

I' meters wondering if this is a legitimate concern to not invite someone due to this. I know I can become low key kind of weird. I' m high working and most ppl don' to know I' m autistic, they just notice that I could be quite shy, prevent eye contact and talk about stuff I' m only interested in, or be kind of blunt and straight forward. I' mirielle an engineer so I imagine ppl expect me to become like this due to that. I' m not diagnosed yet and the autist thing is a recent realization, but I' ve had subtle difficulties with socialization as long as I remember, I simply didn' t know what it was for a long time.

Tldr: My friend (F29) doesn' t want to ask me to her 30 birthday celebration, because I' m (F26) mildly autistic and might annoy her friends along with my bluntness. Is this a valid concern?
