what should i do when people say stuff about my autism that makes me uncomfortable?
i get infantalised a lot, it makes me uncomfortable. i couldn’t tell if it was because of my race or not, but it’s becoming more apparent to me that it’s because i’m autistic. sometimes teachers do it to me. they know i’m smart, i use ‘advanced vocabulary’ occasionally, i don’t get why i get people explaining stuff to me like i was born yesterday, even in topics that i’m more well-versed in than the person speaking to me is. should i just start talking about politics and wars and watch them get uncomfy as well?
