“I’m autistic and I don’t do that or have that”

[BeGentleTraybake]

I hate it when autistic people with less support needs tell people with more support needs that they are making a big deal out of something. Or call out another autistic person who has more issues with communication for being rude or saying something that comes across the wrong way. I hate it when autistic people assume that every other autistic person is just like them and must behave just like them and knows what is right and wrong. It’s clear the needs aren’t the same.

Maybe they actually have more issues than you think? They sound unable to put themselves in your shoes or understand why you are different to them - not unusual with ASD surely?

Well their ND may result in them not being self aware, sensitive, not very good at tact, not very good at understanding difference or why someone does something.

Or they could just be an arsehole.

People with disabilities can be just has horrible as people without disabilities.

One thing I have learned about self diagnosed autism or adhd, is that the sufferer believes they are somehow the only person suffering.

Change the subject, talk about the weather, dont take it personally. They are emotional and social skills you need to practice and learn. If your experiences and autism is your whole identity and you are looking for validation and confirmation all the time you are going to be sorely disappointed in life.

I have no idea how that posted multiple times soz
