People downplaying autism

So I am finding people very frustrating. When you talk about your day to day struggles (because they ask) and people respond with “oh I’m like that too!” Or “isn’t everyone like that? Oh I must have autism too” and I’m just like what is going on with the world??? Anyone else had these issues with people????

  • The conversations about people with autism is nauseating. The aspie person in question is talked about as ‘other’ and how annoying they are just because they’re quiet and not social butterflies!  And the neurotypical people think those with ASD are the ones without empathy?   :(
