Or making out all autistic people are in fact capable of talking.
She needs a tour round my sons school.
The self-diagnosed autism mob are the most self-absorbed people in the world. They are always either the most independent, lowest support-needs, non-disabled people, or not autistic at all, and act like they speak for all of us, shouting over the great majority of us who are disabled and need a lot of help. Let alone the 50% who are learning disabled. They don't get a look in unless they have a magic special ability. Not forgetting screeching their opinions about the way that non-verbal and learning disabled people with autism should be treated, while knowing nothing about their experiences.
Her playing the autism and ADHD cards has infuriated me. I have both, and know from her fairytales about her "diagnosis" that she doesn't even know how diagnosis works, let alone her offensive description of symptoms. She's lying and at the very least, hasn't been diagnosed. She probably doesn't have either condition. Its so angering that she's playing the autism card to shield from her compulsive lying, and the ADHD card to explain her narcissistic hatred of criticism. Someone on an earlier thread explained that rejection sensitive dysphoria means that they will avoid people and be quiet for fear of doing something wrong. NOT go nuts and rage at anyone who doesn't worship the ground they walk on. A specific hatred for criticism is a symptom of narcissism.
I used to have the rejection sensitive dysphoria aspect when I was a child and teenager. I have mostly matured out of it. It's not a specific hatred of criticism like she says, it's real, imagined, or perceived rejection. (edit to add, I was no more sensitive to criticism than any other child) Namely for me, I was terrified of making a social mistake, as it makes others very angry and intolerant. But I didn't know what was wrong with me, or what, why or how the things I was doing would upset people, but not the things that other people would do. I couldn't see a pattern or work it out, so I just became frightened in general as people's reactions were so unpredictable and unfair. Anyway, rejection sensitive dysphoria was the least troublesome of my ADHD symptoms. I would just like to be able to think straight and take care of myself.
