I am in a training program to be a home health aide. When covering developmental disabilities we discussed ASD. The professor talked down to me when I suggested that maybe boys don’t have autism more often but instead there’s a discrepancy due to gender. I disclosed I’m on the spectrum and he said level one is the most mild (I know) and spoke down to me as if nothing applies to me. I sat in the back and cried because yes I have feelings even though I had to mark the question on my exam as we don’t have empathy. I feel embarrassed. I should not have said anything, but I got so upset listening to people chime off fallacies and the professor confirm them.
I don’t know what to do. I keep getting teary eyed. I wish I never spoke.
