i remember when my mom would tell my teachers i was on the spectrum and they would treat me noticeably different than the other kids. like they would talk to me slower and in a sweeter voice like i was way younger than i was. i appreciate the fact that i’m an adult and i can choose who gets to know so i’m less likely to be treated differently.

in school i wouldn’t tell anyone in my class i’m autistic but i was smart and they could tell there was something about me so they would only be friendly to me when they wanted the answers for the class work
