There are a lot of people who say they don't want to be defined by being Autistic, but honestly, I wish I could go back to every adult who thought I was rude or lazy, and explain to them that, I was doing the best I could, with limited understanding I had of myself.
I see this as mostly their problem, because their upbringing is so based in conformity and obedience. My expression of individuality would trigger vague but horrifying fears that caused them to treat me in angry ways.
Which I hope they regret now, being older and wiser, but so many of them just grow older.
