The way some people talk to Autism people they speak like I am baby, or dog.

They say things in a higher voice hello are you alright? It’s  really irritating. I hear them speak to someone else in one way and me in another way especially social worker’s, people like that.

  • I get the exact same treatment. I was in hospital recently and the nurses spoke to me and treated me like I was a little girl.

    I have learned how to mask, but I still get things wrong. I was once eating a biscuit and this old woman said to me nothing but her body language looked like she wanted to have a bite I thought. So I said to her sorry would you like to have a bite of my biscuit? She replied “No I wouldn’t ! Thankyou very much, why would I want to eat your half eaten biscuit.” I said I don’t know?

    I didn’t know what she wanted she was walking towards me so I thought I would offer to share. I don’t see things in a regular way.
