People making fun of your disability?
Or people who find your disability so annoying that they can't stand being around you?

I don't know.

The former.
I sympathize with the latter. There's times I'd prefer to take a break from being stuck with me.

The former is people I went to school with. They can rot in Hell.

The latter is members of my own family. They still have a hard time accepting me.

I think it would be worse to make fun of someone’s disability although neither option is particularly nice.

Behavior related to a disability is often not something that one can control.

If I disassociate or engage in other weird behavior because of PTSD, autism, or whatever, it’s not like I’m intentionally trying to bother or hurt others.

People can avoid me if they want to, but they don’t need to be a jerk about it.

^ that's my thought on it to.

I know not everyone in this life is going to like me. Some might flat out find me dreadful. And that's fine. So goes life, we don't all like each other. I think that's more than fair.

But if they're being jerkish just because I am how I am? Nah. That's uncalled for.

People making fun of disabilities, of course.

Because the other people do not stick around long enough to show such disrespect.

Neither tbh as if they don't want to be around me or making fun of me they aren't really worth my time or energy so I tend to get rid of people that way.

That said many people don't figure I'm autistic until I tell them as I do a ton of masking leaving myself exhausted when going out.

The Big Bang Theory (tv show) felt like a huge parody of autism, so they even have whole TV shows poking fun... And as far as people who can't stand me? Well.. like the song says "everyone I know goes away in the end"..

I'm used to being the butt end of the joke..
