Headdesk time, double feature.
The first conversation was with an old acquaintance from college. The second conversation was with my dentist. Neither of them knew at the time that I’d been diagnosed with PDDNOS/atypical autism and was about to have that diagnosis changed to autistic disorder in the near future.
“My best friend is autistic.“
“Oh, what does she do?”
“What do you mean?“
“I thought with autism, it was like someone couldn’t do much of anything, except they could do one thing really well. So what does she do?”
“Um… she can imitate perfectly the sound of a bicycle coasting, using only her mouth and throat?“
“That’s not what I meant. What does she do?”
“You know my best friend I’ve been talking about? I got a picture of us together, finally.“
“She’s black!?”
“Uh, yeah, why?“
“I dunno, I just always thought autistic children were white.”
