Why don't people care what I have to say?

Question

I am labeled as Autistic.

Though - I only show 1 of the signs.

And when I tell people i've somewhat lost the disability.

They basically shoo me away implying I have no clue what i'm talking about just because i'm autistic and not normal.

Why don't they listen?

Honestly, I love talking - I enjoy listening to people and hanging out with them, finding out what they like.

I've taken some tests, and they said it was odd that I did not put the blocks in color order in a precise line.

I don't mind when people move my stuff, only thing that irritates me is.. I can never find it when I don't know where they put it. But I know that is normal and many people feel that way.

I know emotions, When I did something wrong I normally understand what I did and show sympathy for what I did.

I don't need to be told more then once to understand not to do something.

But, I do hate people when they say I cannot do something.

I've been told I used to show these signs, but after hearing I did.. I've basically used my own will to not show these and be normal.

And..

Nobody believes me.. Which deeply upsets me.

Answer 1

Autism is a communication disorder. Some autistic people do line things up, but a lot of them don't. Many people with autism have difficulty with emotions, but some do not. People with autism are often as different from each other as people without autism.

If you are autistic and it really sounds like you are not, then you are very high functioning and you should be able to live a very normal life. Dr. Temple Grandin is autistic, but has overcome many of the obstacles that it causes. She has written a number of books and teaches and lectures. She isn't the only person with autism who is doing quite well in life.

Just keep on learning to communicate and succeed academically. Let the proof be in your actions and ignore people who can't see who you have become.

Answer 2

Just hang in there.  To paraphrase Jesus, "A prophet is without honor in his own country."  Meaning:  the people who saw you grow up will have a hard time dealing with the "grown up you".  I have the same problem with my son, who's 17.  He used to be such a little pain, and now he's a VERY mature young man.  It's hard not to always think that he's up to something or that he doesn't know what he's talking about.  

Answer 3

People are judgemental and ignorant.  Try befriending some people educated on ASD's
