Top Ten Worst Ways to Annoy an Autistic Child

I have a sister that's autistic. She hates it when people talk about her when she's right next to them. She hates it when they think she's stupid and can't learn but she can learn! She's as smart as me! *growls*

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.

I’m autistic and I can go far as Nazi jokes

I'm not autistic but even I don't like that.

I’m an introvert and I prefer being alone

I’m autistic and I am a proud extrovert.

Some people at school treat me like I am autistic. I don't like autistic people so come at me. I don't care. I love making fun of hate comments. I am not autistic but I think I did at 7. Remembering it makes me laugh. And dubstep lover and pogo or whatever are great. My friends hate autistics. In fact I have 2 friends who are autistic. I know what u r thinking. But they are cool and they like call of duty and not dumb Mario. I noticed that most autistic people like Mario so much and shove it up your face. My brother likes Mario and he is starting to act autistic- Carolina Panthers/Nirvana fan.

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!

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.

Some of my special ed teachers did this

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.

This happens to me :(

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.

This just stresses me out even more.

My dad does this, but it’s because he tends to get overwhelmed easily. Still annoys me, though

Pain in a neck

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 have many obsessions, and I don't have autism, so I think everyone is obsessed with something.

Nobody does, anyways. People are inconsiderate b****es.

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.

Most autistic people aren’t retarded

I have NO normal friends. They all have it or somethin

We are all beings after all

I have no desire to make friends, and yet everyone expects I do.

I want friends, but not the inconsiderate jerks I know!

I mean some of them do but some of them don't as well.

Yea I know it's weird because if someone stared at me I would feel weird. This is not nice for everyone

I'm not kidding, my sister does this just to bother me, and I SCREAM at her because I hate it so much.

Like I have autism and if someone did that I'd be like hey stop looking at me and would want to punch em in the face

I'm not autistic but I hate being ordered around like that 24/7

Unless you're a really good actor, I don't think you could fake autism.

I don't think that's really even possible

I'll just show them my medical records then 😂😂😂

People actually do this?

People do this?

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.

I don't even have to speak. This is obviously wrong.

I don't think you should treat anyone like toys.

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 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.
