What do you do with someone who hurt you because of your autistic behavior? It could be someone or even a group who bullied, gaslighted, or mobbed you in the past. What do you do if you meet them somewhere?

My advice is to envision what you want the future to be, and do what you need to do to make that happen.
That can look like a lot of different things. Sometimes it’s having a hard and direct conversation. Sometimes it means employing subtlty: jokes, passing comments, body language, etc (all the more important to understand and purposefully engage in these skills when communicating with someone who is not autistic). Sometimes it means putting on a mask of civility. Sometimes cutting someone off entirely.
Revenge in my experience is usually not satisfying.
