Although muscular i am under average height for a man at 5ft7-5ft8.

I find that if your not that physically imposing other people seem to think they have the right to call you autistic/disabled to your face etc.

Do you agree with my theory? One of my associates is a big guy at 6’2 and over 260 pounds and although people say he has autism behind his back they never say it to his face unlike me :(

am thinking there are alot of variables that would come into play in those situations .

How early a child developed their learned masking abilities . Their IQ, how they speak ,
How they carry themselves , And a big one, does it matter to the other person . ?

Again....you're hanging out in bars too much.

Regular people in the street don't go around calling people autistic to their face.

And even if they did, its only a slur if you decide to take it as such. Autistic isn't a dirty word.
