people: why can’t you do thing

me: (explains how my autism/adhd interacts with my environment and what I need to help me)

people: don’t use your autism as a crutch

me: but it’s the reason I can’t do thing, I’m disabled

people: ohh so you’re loW fUnCtIoNinG. but if you’re low functioning you cant talk or function at all and can’t spell or do anything in school!

me: No, that isn’t true about me—

people: oh, so you’re high functioning. but if you’re high functioning you can do all the things someone without autism can, so stop complaining.

me: (continues to struggle)

people: why can’t you do thing

me: because im stupid i GUESS

people: don’t say that about yourself :( if you’re struggling you can just say so :(
