I wish I could talk about being an autistic adult without someone telling me I’m not “autistic enough” or someone just straight up treating me like child. It’s always fun too when someone’s all “oh, I didn’t know you were (insert r-slur here)”

The worst part is that my good good friend recently belittled me like that recently. like most of the time she’s fine but sometimes she’ll treat me like I’m socially and mentally incompetent when it comes to people she think might “take advantage” of me… like what? You didn’t even know I was autistic till I told you.

R slur is also so false. Autistic people are some of the most intelligent people i have ever met

it just sucks when someone talks to you like they assume you don’t posses the mental capacity…. I’m an honors student and I’m also pretty successful when it comes to making and keeping good people in my life… I’m not a toddler.
