Why do people think autistic people doesn’t “get it”?
I mean how stupid do you think we are. Sometimes my family things I don’t understand what they discussing about and I don’t get it. Like when I say my opinion, they either tell me to be quiet or confused on what I am saying and tell me “Never mind. You just don’t get it.”
My late dad would try to get me to understand how much my family loves me and my nieces and nephews love being around me and I don’t “get it” and it frustrates him and he would say, “Can’t you see they they’re happy to see you?”
Or when my aunt or grandparents come over he would be like “Look this is family time and I am so sick and tired of you being cooped in in your room all the time! I brought them over here so they can come see you! Don’t you GET IT! They love you. No get your ass out of your room and spend some time with your family! No arguing or hissy fits! Go!”
Dang he I didn’t need to yell. I was 16 at that time. Even my siblings would try to get to understand that our parents are getting older and there’s nothing we can do about and I need to be LISTENING and hearing.
My bro said I hear well but I don’t LISTEN well because I can be very stubborn, don’t wanna accept reality and being blunt sometimes is the only way for me to get the point.
My family loves me but they are so frustrated with me and always nag at me to do things I normally won’t do and push me to get out of my comfort zone.
