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?

    Not everything is about the US, despite them living rent free in your head, apparently. Also, that’s not at all how it works in the US. But dont let the truth get in the way of your hate boner.

        And some provinces, too

        E.g.: Manitoba only requires you to show up to your appointments and pass tests, while Quebec needs 1.5 years of accredited training and road experience to get a probationary license.
