Whenever I tell people I recently met I have autism they all look at me either "no way" or "you have to be kidding me!".
Anyone has such experiences? >_<

When I had semi-long hair there were lots of people that thought I was a girl, especially when I dyed my hair purple, but you can't really compare it with this.
There are some other things, but yeah...
EDIT:
A friend of me has PDD NOS and I actually didn't know it for years. When I found out I didn't really care, but there are many friends that reacted otherwise.
When i tell people i am 16, no one beleives me; I've been told i can pass off as 22. I did get into a bar but it was a real redneck bar and my brother was in there.
(But i guess i am pretty much 17 now, 3 days.)
not makin this shit up...had a girl walk into a pole staring at me. when girls meet me for the first time they usually have a "damn!" expression....girls round here find me attractive...not bragging, find it rather annoying actually.
but thats bout all i can remember right now.
Are you that guy who takes pictures of himself looking awkward or running? If so, wow.Quote:

People usually don't believe that my eyelashes are real... It's annoying, 'cause I don't even think it's something WORTH having a reaction over..it's just eyelashes.
Sadly as a guy I get the same thing... Its freaky -_-Quote:

They usually don't believe me until I actually move the contact around in my eye...
Yea... people stereotype autists as those that are mentally retarted and stuff.Quote:

Some may be slower then the rest and some may excel the average human at that age, but they still can function normally in the normal world, hence the reaction I wrote in the OP.
How were you diagnosed with autism?Quote:

When I told my girlfriend I had Bipolar Disorder, she wanted to kill me for not telling her before. =/
Well. Most people are sure I'm way younger than I am. Its gets kind of old after the first year or so. xD
When I first started college, people thought I was someone's daughter just visiting for a minute. ._.
its a gift in disguise. don't worry, when these people are all 40 and old looking you'll look like your still in your 20's and it'll be awesome. I have the same issue.Quote:

People never believe me when I tell them my ethnicity, and I can usually fake some other ones. (I'm half tamil, half guyanese)
I get away with faking filipino, lolol.

When I tell people I'm Bipolar they think I'm crazy and it makes me sad so I yell at them.
I am crazy! And people don't understand.
Wait....I don't feel like I contributed.
I ran into some trouble at school and they sent me to the school councilor. After quite a while they diagnosed me with autism.Quote:

people were looking at me on the streets two days in a row
it must of been the make up
People always are surprised when they speak to me; They are suprised at how polite I am. They are even more surprised when they ask me if I'm interested in basketball and I say no; Apparently because I'm 6"6' I should be.
Basically, people have strange reactions when they speak to me becase I don't fit the stereotypes they believe in. Not that I care either way.
why do you think that people have strange assumptions?
did anyone tell "dude i have strange assumption about you?"
or is it just your fantasy?
you are assuming that that they are assuming strange assumption about you lol
Haha same here everyone thinks im all doped up. ALL THE TIME :(Quote:
