And what do you wish they would stop doing/saying?
I wish they knew that we aren’t all like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. I wish they would stop saying things like “everyone is a little bit autistic” as it effectively (if not intentionally) downplays the struggles we face on a daily basis.
That we're actually worth getting to know. Nearly every NT I've ever met just ignored me as soon as they found out I'm autistic. Really hurtful when you're outcasted like that.
Have you found an autistic group to join and feel accepted?
I wish you luck. there is quite a wide variety of people on here, maybe some you think are great, or good, maybe just 'ok' ... just about tolerable .... :-)
Unfortunately no but that's why I joined here. Keeping my fingers crossed it all works out.
