Not matching what others think Audhd is..

I really don't want to get into specifics, but I can't help but feel like I'm often being treated in a way that's unaccommodating to the fact that I have Adhd and autism.

I feel like people have this expectation that I need to act autistic or act like the stereotypes of what it looks like to be autistic, and having Adhd. It feels like if I don't act in the way that they expect that I will not get the accommodations and gentleness that I need..

I'll often get treated with a passive aggressiveness, or an indifference by others.

It's kind of hard to explain I guess..

Like, if I say i'm getting overwhelmed, people do not fully understand what that means despite me trying to explain... they then tend to get pretty offended If I do something that is actually autistic..

I feel like I always have to mask to a degree not to offend anyone.. even if thats my support person( comes to my home to help me with tasks and such).

I'm also aware that I can be biased at times if i'm already having a very bad day. But this doesn't feel like one of those cases..

I'm not sure my brain is a bit scattered right now, as I am feeling a bit depleted and a bit upset from a past interaction..
