Mental Age Theory and presuming ignorance leaves a person vulnerable, due to the person being denied sexual education, health education, and age appropriate healthy social interaction.
Thats your opinion. Ppl with developmental disabilities vary on how they want ppl to speak to them. Some see the tone harsh and need extra.gentleness and slowness and simplicity discussions.
Stimming does not mean I don’t understand. And trouble understanding? No, I just process senses differently, and I DO have empathy!
Sometimes it does, but i do agree with your point.
I look like anyone else, and am autistic. And I DO understand everything, and can make decisions just fine! Stop infantilizing us!
I have incredible insight, and think far ahead!
The stuff about victims is true for neurotypical women too. #MeToo #ActuallyAutistic
I live on my own, and am high masking. I don’t fit any of this, except the stimming.

I would be angry too, if people kept treating me like I was stupid! #actuallyautistic
Ma’am I don’t think this video was directed towards you . There are others in a worse condition .
I don’t have a support person. I live on my own.
I understand fully and look like anyone else, and autistic.
I read and read at age two!
I wander off, due to AuDHD. Sometimes something is just too interesting to pass up.
I talk your ear off, and my conversation is “normal”.
I can read, write, tell time, etc. A person who can not has not been educated in a neuroaffirming way!
I only make stupid choices when I get mad or get too ADHDish.
I then regret them.
Please presume we DO understand! I don’t have cognitive problems! Autism and Alzheimers just both start with A!
The problem with these videos is that the idea of how we think is created by neurotypical “experts”. Ask a person with DD. We are the real experts!
That guy is a good actor

Police - Who do you live with
Gareth - Group home
Police No, what do you do during the day. Because you're in Kingston now, you're not in Napanee.
What does that mean?
@@nicolecorrado1959 Because, Gareth doesn’t understand the police ladies.
I notice police “baby talking” in all these videos. It is annoying.
