I am autistic but people don't know and then call me it as an insult :(
No, I can’t draw very well.
I like this one
"Yes."
it’s nothing to be ashamed of. i love autistic people, feel more at home with them. my dad’s family is like…all on the spectrum, as am i, my brother
Your momma don’t mind air hump
I think autism is a gift .. I don’t even wanna think of a comeback to this because I don’t consider it a diss 🙏
My point exactly. 👏
"Do you enjoy mocking people's disabilities?" Say it loud enough for others nearby to hear it, because then their surroundings may turn against them.
Thanks for noticing
Laughing at them because THEY are the ones lacking in social skills. I know it would be hard for you to flippantly ask them if they practiced social skills much but that would be the best comeback. As that is not possible, however. Reminding them of social skills is good. You can nicely say, “ good social skills are not insulting people. I will try to have patience with you , please try to have patience with me.” I dislike rude people and that is what they are being so please don’t take offense. They are actually the ones that are being socially unacceptable. If others are around, they are making them uncomfortable, truly. Others may chuckle but it is an awkward chuckle. Another thing you could do is deal with it straight on and tell them that yes, you are autistic but that is not a defect, you just communicate differently than they do so would appreciate that they understand or tell them what hells you to understand better. In this day and age, enough people should know about autism ( or there is plenty out there). Also, this person’s insult will actually make them feel like the fool. Be proud of yourself. You are who you are. Help others understand if you work with them or otherwise. Keep your cool. Don’t get frustrated. These are the less educated. Just be patient with them. You got this!
I ain’t readin’ all that, take my upvote 💀
"Yes, and you're an ignorant ass if you think that's an insult."
As a fellow autistic, good luck to you!
(To add, you can just do the second half if you don't want to out yourself.)
“What are you autistic or something??”
“..yes.”
That usually shuts people up. Just like:
“what are you, blind?”
“Yes.”
“Oh”
How nice of you to notice! You must be quite neurologically aware, good job dude!!
Generally if you are hugely complimentary to people, they don’t know where to go with it.
“Albert Einstein had ASD, so by calling me autistic, you’re calling me a potential genius.”
But when someone says "way to go Einstein" that's an insult. You just cant win.
For the last time mate it's pronounced Australian
"The best people are"
Asshole also starts with "A".
That's my secret power
im not acoustic your acoustic. *promptly shits in hands and claps*
dont give me shit for this i am literally autistic and ill make fun of my own condition if i want to.
Stare 1000 yards past their teeth for oh idk...about 6 seconds should make it sufficiently awkward and foreboding
If anything, that's a compliment. Tell them to go suck a dick.
Deadpan stare (hold for 10 secs) and walk off. No comeback needed.
Where I might lack in some categories, I definitely make up for in other areas. So overall I’m still ahead of you in the game.
An autistic person would probably just give you a long stare and then walk away.
Yet you're the one with social awareness problems.
🥰…thanks
Ooh ooh ahh ahh
Ewwwww do people still use it as a slur?
*Overly theatrical gasp*
"You don't say?! My, my, what else!? I bet you're gonna tell me the sky's blue next!!"
'Is there an issue with being autistic?'
'Takes one to know one'
'Ding ding ding, right answer!'
If they say 'you don't look autistic' and them what autism looks like.
What? Why? What? What? Did that? No. No. No. What?
“and you’re unloved. only one of those is negative.”
you seem to be suffering from ignorance
Well, at least I'm not autistic...
“What you just figured out? Hot damn you’re fucken slow!”
——————
act shocked “No it can’t be, I’m no good with math!”
——————
“Thank you Captain Obvious, for pointing out my disability that I’ve no control of.”
——————
“You sure? I mean I don’t feel autistic, do I look like I’m autistic, I’ve never noticed it before, maybe I caught it off someone?”
You laugh at me because I’m different… I laugh at you because you’re all the same!
Call them the 'R' word.
Pretty sure you have the 'r' word pass just like how us black folk are allowed to call each other the 'n' word.
Okay.
Fellow autistic here. Sorry this is happening to you. ❤️
Honestly, you could just answer with, "Well, considering that I actually am autistic, that makes perfect sense." If they laugh because they think you're going along with the "joke," you can say seriously, "No for real, I am autistic."
If they have even a little bit of conscience, they'll pause for a minute and feel awkward before leaving, and they may not bring it up again. If they continue to berate you, walk away. I used to game online with some people, and early on, one guy would say things like, "Oh man sorry my headset is being autistic." I made a point somewhere in the conversation of saying that I'm autistic, and I never heard him say that again.
Make the feel unconfutable. Say I prefer the term neural divergent.
“What do you mean by that?”
Naw just not paying attention to you.
“Oh why thank you!!! Have you read the benefits of being autistic?”
Then you can go on to say those. And maybe explaining it & giving examples in your own way how that benefits you or can benefit you. Of course you need to research the benefits & remember some.
Takes one to know one
Info dump on him.
The slow kid is always the last to notice.
