Examples:
Yesterday I was at a health evaluation for a driver's license. Everything went well with my physical health, but at questioning, my autism was bought up. I was accused of needing help with learning in primary school (despite of my grades, that were usually B (I know, I'm lazy)) and now I need a psychological evaluation.
When I started high school, most professors infantalized me, but later stopped after I proved myself (ok, some didn't stop, like the slovene teacher and the sport teacher/coach).
When I meet someone new, they always think I am intelectually disabled, before proving otherwise...
Why is this happening?
Edit: It means a lot to talk to people who support me trough this (even if only on the internet). I took a psychological evaluation today. It included an iq test like form (easy, but didn't finish the whole paper), questionairs and some cordination tests (that in my opinion I was bad at). Just waiting to get the results. Hopefully I'll pass, but I can't really do anything if I don't, can just maybe try somewhere else in the EU (i think).
So you are great at your job, people just don't want to accommodate you, because they don't care.
The thing is, I'm not officially diagnosed yet so I didn't "come out". I plan on doing it whenever my diagnosis is complete and then I'll see if anything changes on that side.
That's kind of a gamble, because It could turn way better or way worse.
Absolutely, I'm very conscious of that, I'll definitely validate that with my therapist first
