SOTRYTIME (CW: stereotypes regarding autism and identity denial)

I am mad today, I need to vent this out to so I will do it here.

At my school we are going to do a thesis project soon. Our teacher wants us to pick a social topic we have experience with or that affects us. I wanted to pick "The negative effects of the current educational system on neurodivergent kids" because I am autistic myself.

I told her this and GUESS WHAT THAT OLD ASS LADY HAD THE GUTS TO SAY

She fucking told me "You are not autistic. If you were you wouldn't have any friends, you wouldn't talk to anyone and you wouldn't even be able to talk" I tried telling her that that was non verbal autism and that there were other types of autism, but she kept on about how I am not autistic because I talk and socialize and why I couldn't do my thesis about autism because of that.

THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH!

I didn't keep that a secret, not from my classmate nor with my school's counselor.
