First let's start with what not to say to an Autistic person. I feel the links that I've read are correct in my case. However there are some questions that I mainly get and that is. I've people questioning me how and where did I get my Autism? Why can't you tell me the family source of where your Autism started? None of your family members back in the olden times didn't get a mental health exam? Why isn't your Son Autistic or your Sister? Why are you still depressed and why can't you accept the past and move on? Why can't you move on if you know and understand that's not moral correct? Why is your mental illness still affecting you and why don't you take any prescribed medication for your Autism? Is your mom a substance abuser when she hatched you? People ask this because my sister that is 6 years apart was born healthy with zero birth issues and birth defects. Why did you come out with a cord wrapped around your neck three times? That's all I could add to this list that is missing.
If you need more understanding then I recommend this article. Also Autism has been proven that females are 10 times harder to diagnose. I'm not spoon feeding you people. You can start researching something yourself instead of needing to spoon-feed because you can't do that yourself etc.
But I can tell you what is often attached with Autism and here as an Autistic person this is how I feel and I know many of Autistic people do. Misanthropic mindset, very depressed outlook on oneself and life, Major Depressive Disorder. Why do Autism have these things attached? I don't know how much I can keep saying this on my profile. I sound like I'm entering a broken record because Autism people face phobic behaviors in society of not being welcomed and accepted. I'll say this short and sweet as I already have a dragged sentence of this. Normally when you tell someone you're Autistic the person changes their demeanor in an instant. Some people will treat you like you can't take care of yourself at all and you need to be treated like a baby. Some people will treat you like you're a foreign alien. Or when you're talking to someone with a normal functioning brain of your Autistic symptoms the person is looking at you glaze over or if you've 5 sets of heads on you etc. Some places and people will not help or refuse help with Autism because that's too much to put up with because Autism people need extra help in social cues, behavioral cues, how to act appropriate in a social environment and needs help with body language as well, tone of voice and the most important communication. Some places will be like that's too much for me. I never got the help I deserved as a kid and a teen and that has completely changed my mindset about humanity and you can't forget all Autistic people are severely bullied. This is why Autistic people are normally attached with MDD. But remember. Autism isn't the same disorder as Personality Disorder or Schizophrenia. Why and how do I know this? Let's think logically if that were true there would be a mental health diagnosis called Autistic Disorder Personality Disorder Schizophrenia. That doesn't exist. Therefore that's why Borderline Personality Disorder and Schizophrenia are labeled separately just like Autism is. If you don't understand this at all then we simply just can't communicate with a poor uneducated mindset like that.
