My 8 year old son has mild autism and is treated like this frequently. The only difference is he doesn’t always notice. When he does notice, it breaks him. I heard him at boy scoots apologizing for being weird and saying he would quit doing it a few weeks ago. It broke my heart. He is an amazing kid with a heart of gold but his slight differences and quirkiness make people think he is less than them. He isn’t. You aren’t. You are perfect just the way you are and, I know it’s cliche but it TRULY is much more about them than it is about you. Try to find some things you like about yourself and meditate on those and then spend some time with people who build you up.
