Autism Makes Me Feel Invisible

- So, I’ve had this channel for a while, but felt reluctant to post anything until now; but I had to get this off my chest. I’m not an editor (nor can I afford one - hah!) or a public speaker, so pacing may be kind of awkward but bear with me.
I’m totally open to constructive feedback; but don’t expect me to reply to the “you’re ugly and smelly” type comments, because they’re super lazy and cliched at this point.
As a teacher with ADHD who works with a lot of neurodivergent kids and a previous career at a tech company where many of my colleagues were neurodivergent, I sometimes forget that the majority of people are still unaccepting of neurodivergence.
Things are changing but we’re still soooooo regressive as a society when it comes to covert bullying. People who close themselves off from people with autism are small minded and cruel imo.
Please know that it’s others who are the problem not you. I’m so sorry you feel this way but I can relate to many things you’ve said and I know that my sister who has autism experienced a lot of bullying when she was younger for being ‘different’ too. You’re not alone ❤
I wish this video had a million views because more people need to wake up and realise how ignorant they are about autism and neurodivergence.
Thank you for sharing even though it’s an extremely vulnerable and brave thing to do xx
🤘😎 agree 💯
I'm a small AuDHD creator as well and I just wanted to tell you that your video is great and encourage you to share more of your experiences.
The rules for social engagement are weird and hard to learn. There's a certain amount of inauthenticity that is required and if you're spectrumy that neither comes easily or feels satisfying. Don't try to be interesting or funny because what spectrum people think is funny is usually a couple of layers deeper than works for group interaction. You many never do well in a group conversation, but if you're ok one on one, that's a good thing.
