Why do people on forums assume that I don’t have a sound mind when I do?

What should I do if someone thinks I don’t have a sound mind to make decisions just because I have medical guardianship due to my autism and mild intellectual disability by the way I communicate on some forums. It’s not true. Why would they assume the worst by the way I sound? What should I do about this? I actually do have a sound mind

    Nobody has a right to make judgements as to who you are and what you might be capable of, this sounds like incredibly unfair behaviour that you do NOT deserve… Regardless of what support you might receive, you are an intelligent person not to be underestimated.

    The behaviour you are experiencing sounds as though it may be bordering Cyber-bullying, of which we have a small section about in our “Bullying” resource.

    Once more, I am very sorry that you have had to deal with this  behaviour - I  hope that you can feel accepted for who you are in our community.

    Thanks - Mod Zac.
