"That's not autism. Everyone gets anxious in social situations."
"You can't have Asperger's. You work in care."
"What's your special talent?"
"But you don't look autistic."
"Autistic people have no imagination, but you're highly imaginative."
"I'm only joking! Don't take everything so seriously."
"But you have a sense of humour."
"You do keep going on about it."
"Why are you doing it that way?"
"But you seem friendly enough."
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Hello? Is anybody there? Are you listening to me?"
"I shouldn't keep having to explain this to you."
Quite!
You're quirky.
You say inappropriate things.
You give off negative vibes.
Crikey...I thought you were talking about me then Robert123!!!

me: "I struggle with this because I am autistic"
them: (fingers in ears) "la la la la la la la la la ...not listening"
No.....
These are said to me very often and recently.
I'm not writing down the more rude inappropriate comments that have been made.

and the advice stuck! x
Thank you for reminding me.. especially when everyone is tired at this time of year. It was mum who suggested it and it is good advice x
