Like the title says, he cut me off when I revealed to him that I have autism. He wouldn’t even let me explain anything about it, he just deleted our conversation and cut me off. Even though he told me he loved me very much and said he would do anything for me. I should have never revealed myself. I should have just been quiet about it and mask it. He thought I was acting a little bit strange and talking too much. Telling me I was acting a little bit insane. I told him I have some mental health challenges making it hard for me to understand people sometimes. And then he said no wonder you act so strange. And when I told him I have autism, everything was over. Everything just changed and he started to act really mean towards me. He told me I deserve it. I said why and then he just said because of your mental health challenge you deserve it.

I’m really sad and upset now. I feel so unworthy and like I don’t deserve anything. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just be like everyone else? I hate being like this and no one wants to understand when I try to explain to them about it either. They just ignore me and don’t take me seriously or just cut me off.

I’m just wondering, has someone had this experience before? I didn’t know autism was still that stigmatized. I thought people had more knowledge and acceptance of it?
