Omg Yes!!

Im in software development and the current company (that i already want to leave after one year because a collegue/teamlead suddenly is an asshole, nitpick and does not communicate clearly to help me at my job!), the senior developer litterly on my first day getting to know him said: "we are are a little special. We all are not normal" as i told him about my conditions.

I HATE IT SO MUCH WHEN PEOPLE SAY STUFF LIKE: "We all have a bit autism/are hyperactive". ITS NOT QUIRKY IT IS A DISABILITY! ITS NOT ALL SUFFERING EITHER THOUGH BUT PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSELY!

    I think most folks mean an expression like this to be welcoming, but it does matter in how its is said and used.

    If you're bringing your condition up to highlight specific challenges and to look for help in finding solutions, then an answer like this can be very dismissive.

    I do agree that the second kind happens way more than it ought to.
