Why are people so mean to us autistic people and dislike us so bad?

What did we ever do to you guys? Growing up, I was disliked a LOT! I was picked on the most, I was the target of jokes and people pushed me around and tricked me into do stuff I did not wanna do. Being an autistic kid/teen was hard but being an autistic adult is worse. People yell at you more and curse at you harshly because apparently now you’re “an adult” so people are meaner and tougher on you.

That's kind of a part of growing up. As you get older, more and more responsibilities are thrust upon you and you're expected to find some way to deal with them. The world is kind of a shitty place and thats why we find friend groups and isolated communities to shield ourselves with to block out the negative energy and hatred that primates day to day life.

@NeighFlowers I get that but I don’t appreciate people yelling at me or scolding me off when I’m very slow. Kids have it easy.

@LaylaTheTallGirl Yeah, because they're kids. As soon as they're done with school, almost half of of them are going to get hit hard by life because the school system does verry little to prepare people for the real world. Only thoses who either are lucky enough to jot have to worry about continuingtheir education or finances, have been preparing for college/a career or have already had a rough go of it are going to be better equipped to handle the sudden train wreck and chaos that is adulthood.

The average kid, or even the gifted kids, who just surf through school and do as their told often find themselves struggling to figure out whay to do once high-school ends, unless they've been prepped to get ready for college and know what feild they want to go in.
