Add your own!

1. Tell them to call Autism Speaks about how to deal with stigma at school.
2. Tell the whole class the person has autism.
3. Diagnose them because they look/sound autistic.
4. Give them drugs used for autism as an off-label thing rather than drugs on-label for depression, anxiety, etc.

Your turn!

Don't do anything for them and make them feel like an outcast.

Try to do everything for them and show them they have no control over what happens in their lives.

Give them an erroneous diagnosis and give them Ritalin, which turns them into zombies.

"You can be neurotypical - if you want to, because "Where there's a will there's a way".

Fill in every moment of their day with activities so they don't have time for a meltdown.

And then when that itself causes a meltdown the fillers of the day wonder what's wrong with the aspie for having such an unreasonable and unprovoked meltdown. :lol:

You can hide your obsession if you try. I DON'T WANT TO HIDE MY OBSESSION!

Yes, and a meltdown is something we autistics do just because we get bored... :roll:
