Examples:

Yesterday I was at a health evaluation for a driver’s license. Everything went well with my physical health, but at questioning, my autism was bought up. I was accused of needing help with learning in primary school (despite of my grades, that were usually B (I know, I’m lazy)) and now I need a psychological evaluation.

When I started high school, most professors infantalized me, but later stopped after I proved myself (ok, some didn’t stop, like the slovene teacher and the sport teacher/coach).

When I meet someone new, they always think I am intelectually disabled, before proving otherwise…

Why is this happening?

    as i stated above. He is an idiot, say straight up to him : “you do not know what an intellectual disability is” and, to their next sentence, answer that you’ll be damn fine with lawsuit.

    Autism not being described as an intellectual disability in the entire field of medicine that’s close to an autowin

      I will never see him again, so it isn’t worth it. I will just easily pass the psychological tests.

      If I sued him, he would probably win, since he could actually afford a lawsuit.
