It's understandable, but frustrating, that I'll often be talked down to by non family members IRL, be they health professionals or not. They see my daughter helping me quite a lot, and jump to the conclusion that I'm not all there. Very few of them,including health professionals, know about adaptive functioning and autism - how it can be much < IQ/level of intelligence.
It's a situation made worse by the fact that for more than quite small distances I'm in a wheelchair. That can result in being spoken to in a slow,and overly accentuated, manner-again as though I'm not all there.
