Has anyone experienced hatefulness at work just because of who you are? Specifically, after co workers realize that you are on the spectrum.. as if you are some how lesser? Although, most of them have a list of issues that could and should be addressed but never is...

I love my job but I find myself jumping BC people dislike me and I tend to be pushed out or bullied. I work hard, smile, I try to be friendly and I'm very polite. I'm just more introverted than most. I don't behave according to the 'culture' but its not BC I'm autistic its BC I don't believe in adapting for others...which is apparently breaking social rules.

Like, darn, I am who I am and apparently that's some how wrong....

I guess the most frustrating part is that it takes a lot of energy to function normally (having to deal with paranoia and constant aniexty) and people make it nearly impossible just to GI to work and be content.
