Then there’s Autism, where they (including me) don’t understand most of it if any at all.
This can create a vast divide where it feels impossible to use your usual way of thinking to be able to read what they say, what they mean or the way they communicate it. Such can take time for which most peoples patience cannot accommodate, so we often get rejected, ostracised or even outright bullied because of these differences; But the reality is that when this happens, it’s the mind trying to use Autism as a scapegoat to fill in a void that they can’t fill in any other way psychologically because of their masked insecurities.
Atypical problems are not a Neurotypicals business, nor are they problems. They are merely different conditions and criteria separate from the majorities development.
None of us chose to be this way and being treated differently because of something outside of our own control is Discrimination.
No two ways about it.
