The thing i hate about being high functioning autistic is that I have to go to these places with lower functioning people. Then the NTs who work here treat me like i am lower functioning. I do not mind spending time with lower functioning peoole though, I enjoy speaking to them and helping them if i can.
Today I am at this place called Skills Unlimted which is a goverment funded program for people with intellectual disabilities. I went to the program for bussiness two years ago but now i just come here for thearpy and medication. The staff here talk to me in baby voices time to time. I really feel disrespected when they do this. My thearpist doesn't do this though. When i got the coffee in the cafeteria the women in charge of the culinary program there rang me up for my coffee treated me like i was lower functioning, and was surprised i used a debit card to pay for my coffee.
