Sometimes I really dont like people

Post Reply New Topic

Everyday I have to deal with Ableist people who dont think I can do anything.

I have had people assume I was non verbal because I wasnt talking and then they ask my cousin or sister questions about me like I am not there. It angers me.

I have also had people tell me that certain classes such as AP English were too hard. I passed with high marks. Then people say the only reason I passed is because I had extra support.

It also seems like not many people understand that I require patience and clear instructions. Some people have decided to not explain things to me because I wouldnt understand it.

Also I have overheard parents talking about me (at. siblings sport events) saying things like "I feel bad for his parents, hes 18 but really immature" This is annoying. I had a meltdown at my sisters softball game and they said that. I also hate it when I overhear people saying they are glad their son isnt like me. Im alternative and eccentric according to a lot of people. I never try to say mean things about them. I have even heard people using the words "ret*d", "Special needs","Stupid", "Dumb", "Incapable" "Slowmind" "Spaz"and "Crazy" used to describe me at certain moments. This upsets me

Yeah, with us - we always have to prove ourselves, to succeed in society. I also have autism, but never had meltdowns or obvious stims, though. In school I proved myself with chess (have a FIDE rating of 1800), so everyone simply assumed I was "normal". But now I'm searching for new interests, so I'm temporarily more vulnerable to mean people... (Sometimes prove myself through making interesting theorems, though)
