First time posting here so I hope I'm doing it right.
I've noticed a lot recently when my Mum talks to others about me or my brother having Autism people will often say things like "Oh they have something wrong with them" or "If only we could give them normal brains" and I'm standing there feeling like absolute crap cause then I think "Well I'm obviously useless so what's even the point of being Autistic and being alive. Then there's the sympathetic sad looks from people and the" Oh I'm so sorry for you" comments. It just really gets me down sometimes. I'm very proud of my Autism as it makes me who I am but when I hear the comments it's like a punch in the gut.
If they can’t love you for who you are then they shouldn’t be around you. I have largely become a hermit because of this and just talk to the odd stranger outside to get into museums and galleries. Part of me still wants to flee when they ask questions though.
wow thats pretty antisocial on the antisocial scale
I do say stuff to them but I normally just do it to stop people from asking more questions.
