Yes yes so much. I think it's even worse when your parents basically force you to get a diagnosis (as in my case ASD/Asperger) but they reuse to acknowledge how you work. Like, no I can't have a normal, proper job cause that'd probably burn me out and I wouldn't know what to do at that work unless I got special help also. And no, while I also have special interests and like some stuff I can't study 5 years straight for eg. a proper librarian or whatever education. And honestly I think people with ASD's etc. are more mature cause they more often have perspective on stuff rather than your average teen. Sure I might look like I'm still in high school and will probably do 5ever also til I get really old and just cause I enjoy a certain kind of humor doesn't make me childish, jeez. Also if that childish is just enjoying things that make you laugh people are just dumb.Yeah, I agree 110% as well and it honestly sickens me when people treat us that way. I’ll never understand nor pretend to understand why people do that. We’re just as human as anyone else, it’s just that we think and stuff a bit differently. I find it funny when someone might see me as childish though, because the reality is I’m actually a lot more mature than a lot of people my age. Sure we may have special interests and stuff, but so do other people. Anyway I better stop before I go off on a long tangent, lol.
I have to say a lot of like, workplaces and stuff are really badly educated on those issues too which suck.
