Weird reactions of people you just/recently met.

**SnOwBunZz** · 10-23-2009, 03:23 PM

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? >_<

**MageMoa** · 10-23-2009, 03:26 PM

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.

Haha, But you don't realize how many people on OnRPG would kill for that gift.

**SR-71** · 10-23-2009, 04:53 PM

Hobo's (for some reason) think i'll be that one who gives them money, so I get asked all the time (never have any).

**MariaMariaaa** · 10-23-2009, 07:27 PM

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

**Fortify** · 10-23-2009, 07:34 PM

People always think that I have colored contacts cause my eyes are a really bright blue.
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.
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 =\

**Wintersun** · 10-23-2009, 07:50 PM

When I told my girlfriend I had Bipolar Disorder, she wanted to kill me for not telling her before. =/

**Elegance** · 10-23-2009, 07:52 PM

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.

When people first meet me they think i'm loud and obnoxious.. because i am. then they realize i'm mean and hilarious.

**Kamilla** · 10-23-2009, 09:25 PM

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.

yerp thats him Ol'Thunderthighs

**Manic** · 10-23-2009, 09:37 PM

As someone of widely mixed decent, I constantly have people scrutinizing my face and trying to figure out where I'm from. I actually think it's pretty funny. If they ever do manage to guess something right, the answer, "keep going," always throws them off.

**Groteske** · 10-23-2009, 09:37 PM

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.

A lot of people are scared or intimidated by me, even though I would never hurt anyone on purpose. It's gets really old, really quick...

**hobolord** · 10-24-2009, 02:52 AM

people were looking at me on the streets two days in a row
it must of been the make up

**Kashis** · 10-24-2009, 06:01 AM

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.

**brutzer** · 10-24-2009, 08:51 AM

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
