BTW
Every time i see a police car my reflex is to look for my ID because i'm so used to them stopping and searching me,
Guess it's because like many AS i always look kind of out of place,
Used to feel bad about it but i must say that i learned to expect nothing from NT's
not in the work place,not from my family,and not in the streets/


That happens to me too I have a clumsy walk and sometimes look spaced out, or slur because of speech difficulty and people think I'm on drugs all the time when clearly I'm not. So when I see a police officer I get a little freaked out. I've also been treated extremely bad at work for my impairments, and disowned by my family as being lazy.
