This happens to me as well. At my last job a manager didn’t think I was capable of doing the work and he was always asking me if I “understood” the work. It was annoying. The other day at work someone kept asking if I needed help. I guess she had forgotten or didn’t realize that I had been working by myself for 6 months. Just because I’m quiet does not mean I don’t understand and am not capable. At my current job someone asssumed I was a special needs high school student. I have no idea why. I must just “look” like I’m disabled.

For me I either ignore them, or prove them wrong. I talk about driving in front of them, or talk about some other things that they just assume I can’t do.

It’s really frustrating for me because I can’t tell what I’m doing to make these people think that I’m mentally challenged, yet for years people have assumed that of me.
