Ugh that makes me so mad because as an autistic person infantilization is the WOOOOOOOOORST. Ughh I think I actually made a secret about people who said that.

The worst part is that even people who didn't mean to , who I know love me and mean well also contributed sometimes and being treated like a child is a part of what made life so hard after I left school. For 7 years after high school, while dealing with some degree of trauma from high school bullying (yeah I know it sounds kinda.. dramatic but I remember having flashbacks where I curled up crying and saying I should have killed myself in high school. I was 24) I also dealt with being treated like I was still a child mentally (see why i'm very... bothered by the use of 'mental age' terminology.) and told I was probably still 17 mentally.

And I wondered for a while if it was true.

I'm not saying this to demonize my folks I love them and they did ... I like to believe, the best they could. But.. misinformation about autism is everywhere. and misinformation HURTS. (I've also come to realize that my therapist at the the time I graduated was ... just HELLA toxic and constantly set my mom and I against each other)

sorry for this ramble I just.. AGH so many feelings. It's no use trying to explain this to antis ofc because they don't listen. they talk over anyone who tells them what they don't want to hear and then they demonize them. That's been my experience and I've known them both online and irl. Believe me when I say that a very... verbally violent and all or nothing anti in real life is a terrifying person to know. I'm so glad I left NC with like three or four states between us.
