Top Ten Worst Ways to Annoy an Autistic Child

I know that some people were able to overcome their autism. - Therandom

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*

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.

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! - Miauzer

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.

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.

I don't think all people do this. - Therandom

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! - Turkeyasylum

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.

This should be Number One on this list because it's bullying autistic people, which they don't deserve.

This just stresses me out even more. - RockFashionista

Pain in a neck

If people did that to me, I would diss them out, and then go rant about society. - Pony

I wish there were more autistic kids in my school. - RockFashionista

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. - Pony

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

Everybody has their own 'thing' whether they're autistic or not 🙂

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

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. - Miauzer

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

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

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

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

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

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

Falcon Touch! Falcon Touch! Haha! 😄

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

I don't think that's really even possible - ToptenPizza

YES!

I freak out if anyone even goes within a few feet of my stuffed animals. - Miauzer

Oh my god, This isn't right.

I was told this by my own mother when all I had on my Christmas list was books. - RockFashionista

When I ignored a autistic person, they raged so hard I was dying!

VERY irritating.
