Some people think when an autistic child and teen becomes adults, the autism disappear. No it doesn’t. Autistic children become autistic adults. I feel like us adults are just thrown under the bus and we get yelled at for showing autistic traits or hatred. I dont understan. I thought things would get better. I mean it has somewhat but I feel like it’s still happening.
I know I have wonderful people that love me dearly and how is my back which I do for them. Sometimes I feel like some people with or other people actually do like me. I know there might be some people that are annoyed by me because of who I am. I’m not gonna lie. I feel like one of my coworkers is uncomfortable around me or straight up not really like me that much. She barely says hi when I come in the classroom. I mean she does care for me and appreciate what I do. I don’t know. Maybe she’s not a morning person or she has things going on in her mind I can’t just say anything. I feel like no matter how much are you trying to get things right? It’s always wrong. Sometimes being autistic in a workforce sucks sometime. I mean, I do love my job but come on. I had an autism school. Another coworker didn’t seem that fond of mean and I think for my opinion, she was uncomfortable around me. I don’t know who told her I was autistic, but I’d certainly. I know there was time she got frustrated with me or told me off for not seeing social cues or what the kid wants. I show up every day and do my best that I can do. One time, the student was trying to reach for his lunch bag I asked him if he was thirsty. Then she was like, “NO! He‘s HUNGRY! You CLEARLY saw him reach for his food. Give it here so he won’t get it. Like jeez she didn’t have to yell. I almost cried but I had to hold it together. I mean, I understand not everyone’s gonna like me understand me or be fond with me. I know that for sure. I’m very dedicated to my job and I love what I do and I love the kids.
