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'm a qualified social worker and I have seen many "professionals" do this, not only to autistic people but ti older adults and other disabled people.

    The solution to this is to speak to them in the same patronising tone. That goes for anyone as well, not just people in professional roles. They will soon see 1. why you have done that and 2. that they need to change their tone. 

    Don't feel rude about it either. It IS rude but that's how they are treating you!

    Thank you yes you make a very good point. I will do it I can copy many peoples voices and tones so I will mimic them.  When it happens again. Grinning
