Feel like am being my usual over sensitive self and maybe they just caught me on the wrong day (I have my assessment tomorow and am in a whirlwind of thought thinking about my whole life)But I said about eing autistic to someone today - they replied "well we are all a little autistic" to which I laighed off and said "well no we aren't"that should have been the end of it but they carried on trying to justify what they had said "Och yeah but some are higher up than others but" where I cut her off and said I will come back when someone else is here.I mean would that have annoyed you guys?? why keep going on when I said No we arent surely that was enough to stop not try argue your case ARGH!Now I cant stop going over it in my head......am I too sensitive, am I beig easily offended
It's a difficult one because while it can be annoying to hear it, I think the vast majority of people don't mean to be malicious when they say it. It's something that has come out of ignorance.
However, it would have annoyed me more if the other person continued to bang the same drum.
Yeah like I just laughed when she said it the first time and said "well no we arent" and I would have been fine if that had been the end of that - I went on to carry on explaining why I was there but when she then starting to go on about levels - I got flustered and said good bye. Now I wish I had just said listen am not gonna argue - go educate yourself can we just take this payment for me.Thats me now going over and over it in my head - I shouldnt leave the house
