"And I'm not talking about being made fun of; I'm talking about how I'm misunderstood, along with the way I process and interact with the world. Although I am much more understood now, it used to be extremely rare that I got the same amount of respect and understanding as normal people usually get. People would often speak to me in that annoying ass high-pitched tone in the most simple language, as if I am stupid. Either that, or they give me free passes whenever I do things that simply aren't ok (breaking ***** when angry), because I'm AUtIsTIc ANd I dON't kNOW AnY bETtEr.
But perhaps my biggest pet peeve is when people pretend to praise me, and the things I do, simply because I have autism, and they want to boost their own image. I can tell when people do this when they give nothing but brief "positive" feedback on something I made, or when they pretend to be nice to me when I'm around, yet when they don't need to deal with me, they ignore me and pretend I don't exist. Unfortunately, this has led to me not getting a good idea of what is actually good and bad about the work I have done."
I can't stand when people do this. I can imagine it would be much worse if someone is doing it to you. I feel sorry you have to put up with this.
