People who treat you like a kid

Post Reply New Topic

For family they treat me like a kid they've always have because I've always been behind but they'll never say I am behind and expect me to 'act normal' needless to say I haven't spoken with them in half a decade.

For lovers they are in denial about me. I look and sound so normal they can't accept some poor autistic guy was able to bed then and "fool them"

It is annoying for someone to assume that because one is autistic they shod be treated like a toddler. I'm moderately autistic (is that a thing?) and frequently experience this, especially if I'm hardcore stimming (rocking back and forth, running fingers along an object I like with a toy in my mouth). They forget that like other adults, I too have adult interests like history and architecture.

My husband treats me like a child. He tells me off if I swear. I like swearing as I find it cathartic. I feel as though I'm living with a headmaster. It's impossible to have a married relationship when feeling this way.

He also corrects me if I do things wrong as I can be clumsy and my manual dexterity isn't great.
