I was just wondering: what autism stereotypes have you encountered in your life from other people. Here are some examples of mine:
1. Someone at school, upon hearing I was autistic, decided to satrty throwing numbers at me nd telling me to multiply them.
2. Some people decided to try to see what "sensory overload" looked like by yelling things at me simultaneously. The result as a fight and a warning for all of us.
3. (the lack of stereotype) I was talking with this woman. I mentioned that I had Aspergers, and she said "What's that like? I don't want to stereotype you or anything." I almost cried in joy.
