 For me, as soon as I disclose to somebody that I'm autistic, their perception of me changes completely and it makes me sad and it sometimes makes me wonder whether I should tell people at all that I'm happy and I'm proud to be autistic because it is who I am and I think along with that, once you tell someone comes infantilisation, so people will just automatically start treating you like a kid, like a little child. You're not a child, you're a fully grown adult who's aware of everything and you know you're autistic. If anything, we're just more introvert in a child and it's cool, it's fun. We're not appalled to those social norms that keep us from acting in a certain way. Exactly, I just do things because I want to do them. For example, my special interests are dinosaurs, so everything to do with Jurassic Park, thank you and Jurassic World and usually that's just associated with children or young boys for example and I'm an adult female who's 25 and I still love dinosaurs and Jurassic and I love dressing up in different cosplay and also Batman as well. I'm completely obsessed with Batman and Gotham but sometimes people can see it as like childish. Is that childish? I think it's pretty cool but yeah, I definitely think infantilisation is one of the worst things that I experience still when I have experienced because autistic people are actually super, super smart and I'm not saying that because I'm autistic and I'm smart, you're smart, loads of autism, I think it's actually proven isn't it? Autistic people actually have average above average IQ. So if anything, we're less childlike, we're so smart, I literally did my dissertation in four days, that's insane, I can't believe that. Well it's weird isn't it because when we're younger we get classified as little professors and we talk to adults and stuff but when we get to adulthood we get characterised as this immature childish character. It's like two ends of the extreme. Where's the middle? It's over middle, I don't think there is but instead of acceptance for how we are people just like, I don't know, always make us feel weird about it. You feel able to break out of the social norms and social barriers that people enforce for no reason, that makes you a child. Whereas if you talk to a lot of neurotypicals there will be a lot of things that they really enjoy, that they've been like, oh well I've grown out of it and things like that. Have you grown out of it or are you just trying to conform because people might think it's a bit strange that you still like Pokemon or like you know. Exactly, it's nothing to be ashamed of, you should be proud of your interests and your likes and your dislikes, you know, everyone's different. Yeah I think it's important to just accept it, like if people could just be more accepting it would be fantastic.
