Yeah, people really like to infantilize people with disabilities and it's extremely gross. One of my friends works with adults who have disabilities and some of them are on the autism spectrum. They require a bit more care when they're out in the community, but they're definitely not children and the goal of the community outings is to help them learn how to be independent at places like banks, stores, and restaurants. She's told me stories about people thinking that these full grown adults are like little kids and people have spoken to them in baby voices or tried to take them by the hand to the nearest security officer all while she, their teacher, is literally right there with her name badge and everything. And there's also that weird double-standard where her students who are white or small in stature are treated like children and talked down to while her students who are of color or taller are treated like threats and followed around stores.
