As someone on the spectrum, yeah I feel this really deeply. The pic you chose is how I imagine people must see me at times. Right now, I could honestly care less how I am perceived. If you want me to be a nicer person, try treating me with some respect and not like somebody who has an intellectual disability. I swear at my job I am treated in the most infantile of ways and I’ve had it. At least it’s motivating me to make a change. It won’t be easy by any stretch but I just cannot continue on in desktop support IT which is basically glorified CS to a bunch of over-entitled whiny adults.
