What do you wish NTs knew about us?

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.

    I wish they knew we were worth knowing. Most I've tried interacting with don't want to know and that's such a shame. Normally it will be a case of being ghosted.

    I've met some nice people though but many are misinformed about autism.
