Why is this?

Post Reply New Topic

Ever notice how people who are neurotypical overreact when a person who has a learning disability (or any disability) makes a mistake? Even an Honest one?

Is this true? Or am I just oversensitive? or Crazy, Bad, or Stupid?

What say you'all out there?

Yeah my mother does it when I cannot see something she goes ape**** but then again she smokes so I have the sweet satisfaction knowing that death's tight embrace will eclipse her that ad peopl don't live past 50 in my family. well 60 if you're grandparents.

think it like this why do they over react I think it like this my mother over reacts because he son with multiple disabilities is smarter than her and healthier than her and she'll be dead soon

so always theres a means to an end if not that just point blank say STFU an stop being a douche about it and learn something about an equalist society

Are you just enquiring about autism or multiple disabilities e.g. sight and hearing because mine is usually sight related my mother acts like the wicked b**** of the north but me and my friends actually joke about it and they simply just correct me they also poke out my obsession of gazing at the beautiful starbuks

Apologies for my venting to answer the question they are just idiots ignore them and change nothing about yourself unless ou're like a serial murderer or arsonist or something because like Mr T

"Thats not cool"

I doubt your an arsonist or murderer though and that you are innocent and the people around yo are just sucky and don't understand disabilities at all especially psyichal

I get that criticism a fair bit....Online I seem intelligent, but in person, I don't "get it" a fair bit..

BTW....are you the same Shadowcat from Free Dominion?

that will depend on the person,not the neurotype,am have mostly NT support staff who never overreact to any mistake am do.

maybe the people that have experienced as overreacting are the type who expect everyone to have no weaknesses.

It has to do with the position you put yourself in front of them.

I have spaces (like work) where this happens, but I have other spaces (like hobby ones) where this doesn't. It's all depending on how you do it, if you rest your neck in the guillotin, or if you are the executioner.

i always seem to get female cow-workers who tend to watch harder for any mistake i make, scrutinizing every thing i do for a chance to jump on the first blunder they spot. this of course makes me more uncomfortable and therefore prone to more mistakes. and then they wonder why we operate better alone.

My mom (and occasionally my dad) would freak out when I'd make unintentional mistakes. My mom just goes nuts, though not as intensely as she used to, and I sometimes feel like my dad waits for me to mess up and can't wait to call me out on it. I don't get why they can't just say, "aw shucks" and laugh it off or something.

What I've noticed is when someone with a disability does soemthing good or right, people do a big cheer or praise the person for it like they are a child. That's what kids did to me in high school.

My parents never freaked when I made a mistake but my teachers made a big deal out of my mistakes or didn't want me to make any. It was crazy. Then they lightened up when my mom told them they needed to let me grow up, let me make mistakes and learn from them because I was going to be an adult soon so they needed to let me grow up or I'll never learn.
