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

  • I was one of those who would say this phrase without any real understanding of autism itself. I still cannot claim to understand it really and even less in others because I can’t get a firm grasp on how others think. A lot of what others do and their behaviours just don’t seem logical or thought-through to me at least. It presents in so many ways too which adds to the overall confusion for me.
