Hate the saying"Were all a bit autistic"

Some people who arent austitic in work say "we're all a bit autistic arent we" and the only difference between you and me is you have a diagnosis. Really makes me angry as they think just because soSmirk things that annoy them makes them autistic. I asked them how they deal with these annoying things and the said they just forget about it. Things that might annoy them will create severe emotional sSmirkess and anxiety, effects me socially and in some cases cause me to self harm, I can't just forget about it. It's obvious that a lot people don't understand what its really like to be autistic or theSmirkjust don't care and try and fob it off as something silly to just get over it Smirk

  • To a degree many people do have traits that are associated with neurodivergency, it's not until you have enough of them does it become noticeable. It's like saying everyone has one leg longer than the others, if it's a millimetre it's not a problem but if it's one hundred millimetres then you're going to notice.
