Top Ten Worst Ways to Annoy an Autistic Child
I absolutely hate this! I'm a flipping almost-genius and I'm being treated like a retard because I'm autistic! There's a difference!
I thought most autistic people are smart though, because they have good skills.
Whoever does this is stupid. Autistic people are geniuses with great memories.
They are actually really smart,people who haven't been around autistic children for long just can't see it.They have exceptionally good memory too.
It's important to recognize that other people have different perspectives than yours, and that those perspectives are not automatically less valid. What is an annoyance to a non-autistic person can be physically painful to an autistic person. It takes an incredible amount of patience and strength to navigate an inaccessible, hostile, un-accommodating world. Autistics are putting up with much more than non-autistics realize. Telling other people how to feel is so dismissive and rude. Let people experience their feelings; you don't know what they're going through and you aren't the boss of them.
I mean they usually are but you can't really blame them for it.
Them girls also talk to me like some baby or other living thing. Like they ask too many questions! And this teacher treats me (again) like I'm some troublemaker.
Teacher: "I think you're doing very good in your grades. You have an A."
Me (In my head): You don't have to tell me a billion times just be ause I have autism!
I'm not autistic but even I don't like that.
I'm autistic and I am a proud extrovert.
This should be Number One on this list because it's bullying autistic people, which they don't deserve.
Why would you do that? They probs have a better memory than you and their fists are just as functional as yours.
If people did that to me, I would diss them out, and then go rant about society.
I wish there were more autistic kids in my school.
That's stupid. Who would do that?
I talk about space, Disney, and the number Pi a lot at school without really meaning to. Every kid in my school thinks I'm OCD or something, and they're not exactly nice about it.
It's true. I'm autistic and I get easily obsessed with things. Like if I pick out a Lord of the Rings character I instantly become obsessed with it.
If someone said that to me, it would upset me in a way because I get obsessed over things all the time.
I mean, everyone's obsessed with something.
If you yell at someone when they're crying, you'll make them cry even more. Whoever thought about this needs to get kicked in the balls.
My dad does this, but it's because he tends to get overwhelmed easily. Still annoys me, though
This just stresses me out even more.
Pain in a neck
I don't know about you other autistic people, but I absolutley HATE human physical contact.
Saying that they're retarded is not okay, and besides, the word is really offensive towards them, because it affects them the most. So saying that to them is really offensive in the first place.
I could scream for several hours about this.
Please. No one I know would do this.
I have no desire to make friends, and yet everyone expects I do.
I have NO normal friends. They all have it or somethin
We are all beings after all
I want friends, but not the inconsiderate jerks I know!
I mean some of them do but some of them don't as well.
I'm not kidding, my sister does this just to bother me, and I SCREAM at her because I hate it so much.
Yea I know it's weird because if someone stared at me I would feel weird. This is not nice for everyone
Unless you're a really good actor, I don't think you could fake autism.
Telling someone this with a mental disorder is messed up, they can't control it. Instead of telling them toughen up, help calm them down.
People actually do this?
People do this?
If someone is excited about a harmless thing and you make them feel bad for being excited about it, you're a terrible person
I don't even have to speak. This is obviously wrong.
I don't think you should treat anyone like toys.
I was told this by my own mother when all I had on my Christmas list was books.
When I ignored a autistic person, they raged so hard I was dying!
Horrible, but better than some other stuff on here.
