Examples:
Yesterday I was at a health evaluation for a driver’s license. Everything went well with my physical health, but at questioning, my autism was bought up. I was accused of needing help with learning in primary school (despite of my grades, that were usually B (I know, I’m lazy)) and now I need a psychological evaluation.
When I started high school, most professors infantalized me, but later stopped after I proved myself (ok, some didn’t stop, like the slovene teacher and the sport teacher/coach).
When I meet someone new, they always think I am intelectually disabled, before proving otherwise…
Why is this happening?
Edit: It means a lot to talk to people who support me trough this (even if only on the internet). I took a psychological evaluation today. It included an iq test like form (easy, but didn’t finish the whole paper), questionairs and some cordination tests (that in my opinion I was bad at). Just waiting to get the results. Hopefully I’ll pass, but I can’t really do anything if I don’t, can just maybe try somewhere else in the EU (i think).
No, the examiner acused me of having an intelectual disability, just because I’m autistic.
This is for a regular drivers license, yea? The only way those evaluations make sense to me is if you were getting some kind of license to race on closed circuits/tracks.
Sorry you gotta deal with it, regardless!
Yes it was a regular driving test.
as i stated above. He is an idiot, say straight up to him : “you do not know what an intellectual disability is” and, to their next sentence, answer that you’ll be damn fine with lawsuit.
Autism not being described as an intellectual disability in the entire field of medicine that’s close to an autowin
I will never see him again, so it isn’t worth it. I will just easily pass the psychological tests.
If I sued him, he would probably win, since he could actually afford a lawsuit.
