As an older person who grew up poormy first memory of a “crazy” person was a deaf guy at school. He tried to speak but it was all gibberish so he got agitated and sometimes would be violent. Most people didn’t care or mocked him but I was fearful whenever he came close.

Joke’s on me, if he’s still alive he can probably hear and speak fluently with the aids available now, as for myself turns out my “bad behavior” and fear of loud people or people in general and being a loner was actually autism

The only moral of this story is my grandma - rip - patiently explained that yes, crazy people are scary, but he is agitated because he wants to talk to the others but cannot and that I should try to treat him as normally as I could and be understanding so bless her heart and those of moms and grandmas everywhere who are doing the same to their kids ie telling them to treat autistics humanly as we speak

AYRT

My experience is definitely different than yours. I'm glad for your grandma's understanding for autism and those affected by disability/the misunderstanding that goes along with that.

Sorry, I know I'm being defensive. But I'm not sure what you're getting at?
I was attacked as a child, by someone I believed to be an adult. Not as a classmate, or acquaintance, or anything like that. I was held down, grabbed and they would not let go. That traumatized me. I've been drinking, so tell me if I've misunderstood, but as sorry as I am for your experience, I just can't help but feel I'm not understanding something.

AYRT no there was just a bigger context that I didn’t say she was violently attacked/had a scar and was very afraid of “crazy people herself. So when I talked about this boy who scared me because he was indeed a threat (he didn’t seem aware of how he scared me and was violent. I was a small girl he was big and acted franctically and did touch me which made me cry more than once re: autism :/) nstead of being ableist she told (prev) and the joke’s on me because as it turns out I have a mental disability myself.

All this to say yeah you can make a choice. Of blaming all disabled people for the wrong deeds of one, or understand that wouldn’t make you too different from someone who claims black people are violent because 1 attacked them and you’re in Egypt if you don’t think the worst attackers are fully able. And yes the ND community applies the same logic to able people who chased them out of schools or jobs etc. If we think about it, it’s endless. My grandma tried to give perspective ages ago and she had history with “crazy people” herself. This was more a general comment also thinking of the people who said op of secret might be autistic themselves. Yeah, could be. In the end, I was. And it’s a choice to stay bigoted. You chose not to, great for you and same for my late grandma and maybe that perspective helped me not internalize ableism which ultimately was important. You know, being disabled myself.

The thing is, this whole "they can't help it, be understanding " thing is fine as long as it's harmless behaviour, like talking gibberish or stimming. But some overly well-meaning people think this extends to letting disabled people physically abuse others because they "can't help it". And no, nobody is obligated to put up with abuse just because the perpetrator is disabled.

No, point was exactly that: seek protection but also understand that it’s not their fault that they are disabled. But seek protection. The guy seemed to be drawn to me maybe because I was petite and quiet. We weren’t in the same class but there were shared spaces. There were school halls and I tried to be close to adults who sometimes had to stop this kid by force. She could have gone on a rant about disabled people but she was careful and considerate. And pretty sure that she talked to the school in private about my fear and issues with this kid and things were solved among them because things were sorted out soon after (I assume the adults were more aware of when he got close to me and pulled him by the arm IDK I really am autistic and didn’t notice the hows of anything)

So pretty sure that the adults intervened in my case, but I wasn’t told “ew run from retarded kids” and that was ultimately helpful because yeah joke’s on me etc.

Which is why I said "some people" and not "your granny in particular". So yes, my point still stands.

Of course it's not okay to let anyone walk all over anyone else. we are in agreement here anon
