    Default Weird reactions of people you just/recently met.

    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.)

    Are you that guy who takes pictures of himself looking awkward or running? If so, wow.

    On topic: People I meet usually confuse me to be Mexican or Brazilian. Have no idea why.

    Yea... people stereotype autists as those that are mentally retarted and stuff.
    I actually know a couple of other autists, with one being my friend self (I was like "no way" myself tbh. :/) and they are no way near the level of "stereotyped" ******ism.
    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?

    I guess people just see the extreme forms not the mild ones =\

    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. ._.

    I ran into some trouble at school and they sent me to the school councilor. After quite a while they diagnosed me with autism.
