Do you ever feel as an aspie you are judged and outcast for every single thing about you?

Life has always been hard for me but these last couple of years have really tested my metal.

I am in my 20s and I have always loved to talk with and learn from older people. Some fellow aspies who i have spoken to in my life, have told me they feel the same why and understand this. My husband is in his 50s, he is my best friend and a very good man, but the evil judgements of society is astounding. I am a witch, I dont feel comfortable socializing in person, even going to the shops is difficult for me and as an artist i try to support myself. Much of what I do is blamed on my Aspergers by others, but then there is also, people in my life denying it out of embarrassment and hiding it in shame. It just feels to me that from many angles of society im being harassed, judged, bullied and discriminated against, because Im an aspie.
People around me pick and choose when my aspie is ok. They treat me like i am mentally incapable when it suits them, but then persecute me when it suits them, and tell my aspergers doesnt exist. You know what I mean?
It feels to me aspies endure a ridiculous amount of bullying, discimination and abuse from society.

Yeah, think I know what you're saying. There's ableism in many places throughout our society, unfortunately. Especially when we're trying to get a job. Then there's the double standards placed onto us by family members (for those of us with siblings and/or cousins). And a lot more examples than those listed.

I constantly have this over my inability to cope with the stress of being outgoing and proactive. My executive function and social issues make 'looking for work' or performing under time constraints intolerable for me, and my family and others treat it like I'm lazy. It seems like people don't even want to understand.

At a point where i can do "nothing right" where those around me can do "nothing wrong" where they look for something i am not perfect in while they can make major errors and be told it is all right.
