Is it just me?

NAS51275

When I was younger my teachers said I had verbal diarrhea. That didn't bother me. Now I am older people say to me - You don't look autistic - Are you sure you are autistic? - You must be very intelligent if you are high functioning. All these comments annoy me. Maybe its because I am older and less tolerant of the comments, or maybe its  because other people are showing their lack of understanding  about autism.

It  makes me wonder - Is it just me that people make these type of comments to? Are other people annoyed by things people say about their autism?

    It’s states: you have to toughen up, you have to smile more. You have to look more feminine, you have to do make up, you have to be more self confident, you have to spend more time with people, you have to go somewhere, cinema or party, you have to stop taking everything so seriously, and on top: what’s wrong with you?! - the question of my life. I got used to it.
