What were some of your autistic traits that were mistaken for something else?
What were some of your autistic traits that were mistaken for something else?
For example: I was called "the perfectionist" at my kindergarten for having routines and wanting to do things the same.
You're viewing a single thread.
My confusion and lack of social awareness has labeled me as ‘rude and disrespectful’ from so many people in my life, including my parents.
Not that my parents and I don’t get along now better than before, more like people outside my family pick on me for how I normally act compared to normal-minded people I know.
The funny thing is, other people who aren’t nice I consider rude and disrespectful instead and they’re usually the ones targeting me.
But I do get along with my parents better now.
Though even other autistic people pick on me only because each autistic person is different.
So basically, everyone picks on me.
Even people claiming they’re helping me because they think I don’t know any better.
I can’t really talk about who without facing liability because how I act is more important than what I personally think or feel myself.
