Hello,
I have a question, has anyone had some really weird/bad assumptions/comments made based on the fact that they are on the Autism spectrum?
I've had two case: I had a friend in highschool ask me if I hit people based on the fact she had read the curious case of the dog in the night and I had just gotten an educational psychologist exam with the results of mild aspergers and I went round telling everyone as I thought it was cool.
The second was from my mother who after a clinic pyschologist exam which resulted in the high functioning autism diagnoses said "its like the high functioning drug addict actors who can still act and make shows but then you hear in the news that they are in rehab" (rather mean)
Other times every asks you to describe how it affects you and when you do they brush it off like "oh well I always have to read a book and drink tea before bed" it's very nonchalant.
