npub1t87xgjmhzw6wv2pmlw7d9esrdp5px3mgykrjxddcf0jxsn8upwyqnk7a94 (npub1t87…7a94) I am on the #spectrum myself so I've been underestimated all of my life. I've learned to embrace the status of being underestimated because it makes the bar for success low. I use the #neurotypicals behavior towards me to my advantage.
Your use of the word "infantilized" is quite on target. Ironically, I see more infantile behavior of users in front of computers. I do IT support for a living and it's amazing how I hear adults whine like 5 year olds. I've learned to sit in silence, ignore them, and wait until they finish their temper tantrum. It doesn't go over well most of the time because they want me to be actively sympathetic. It's a good thing I am a state employee and all they can do is whine but when push comes to shove the problem is solved and that is all that really matters.
Yeah, I am jaded in my old age.
