What have you been mistaken for?

Post Reply New Topic

-Slow; understandable if it was meant by appearance, as I do move and talk slowly. However, I'm not mentally slow with standardized testing. Never asked for clarification
-"high"/on drugs; kinda understandable due to my slow manner, my deep-set and narrow eyes, and my flat affect. Wasn't taking drugs, so it was incorrect
-a monster. Suppose this is a perspective thingy, but I don't mean/intend to hurt people [in 99.9% of cases]
-albino. Incorrect, as I do have melanin (blue eyes and brown hair)
-dumb; based on schoolwork in high school. Incorrect, as I'm not dumb (basing intelligence on schooling is erroneous for many reasons)
-crazy; due to a couple of [justified] violent outbursts that shocked people who thought I wouldn't ever do such (everyone has a trigger)

Not mistaken for having a mental disorder that I don't have.

Once a guy knocked a guy out cold for calling me a slut. I didn't even know he had said. I was too busy chatting away to every one and I hate it when I'm tired - I talk with a softer voice and some men think I'm trying to be sexy and come onto them - it happens alot

My mother had a hard time accepting the fact that I was diagnosed with Asperger's. She kept saying it was "only child" stuff. But the only child thing syndrome is a myth. Now, she has begun realizing all the things that add up to autism. I was born 44 years ago by an emergency C-section due to 45 minutes of oxygen deprivation. I have had intense narrow interests my whole life. I have always been awkward in social situations. She has even admitted to being concerned about me during school because of my lack of friends. I had a tape of me talking when I was in elementary school and it was determined by an expert to be typical Asperger's speech. So it all adds up to her now.

Eccentric and weird are the main words I would use. It wasn't until I met another aspie that someone considered the possibility that I might have AS.

Um huh yes I've been called weird too

I've been called a slut too, but I think that's cos I just dress nicer than everyone else, cos I wear what I actually want to wear, instead of just hoodies and jeans. But apparently my faux leather boots made me look like a hooker.

Its stupid calling someone a slut because of what they wear.. it's not even based on truth. A lot of real sluts look like frumps.

I hate the word slut - it is derogoratory to women. Some men blame women for being raped for what they wear.

strange, odd, weird

A lot of things, but most often either a sociopath, a drag queen, or both. The former is probably due to the Aspergers, but the latter is just the fault of my 5'10 height and the way I choose to dress much of the time.

apperently a perv, or apperent danger to children, considering articals on the internet about guys that dont socialize, have no children, and are single
