Hey everyone,
I've been battling with this issue since I've started to become more vocal about my differences due to being on the spectrum.
Recently one of my good friends snapped at me saying that I'm delusional for feeling different and that everyone goes through it at some point ..(even though I've been feeling this way since childhood).
I've also had people tell me that I waste time over analyzing things even when I try to explain that I just notice different details to them and it doesn't take as much effort as it seems.
Does anyone else get put down for their differences? How have others dismissed you for them?
I'm feeling quite defensive and angry that others are being so ignorant towards such a personal thing.
