Feeling Discriminated Against Because of My Autism

Does anyone else ever feel like because they're Autistic, they'll never be treated the same as others and will always be looked down upon? I was venting to my mother about my job and how some of my coworkers infantilize me and think I can't handle certain things ever since I got diagnosed. But my mother responded with "They treat you like that because all you talk about is your autism." That really broke me hearing that. To be fair, I don't really talk about my autism really at all at work because 1. Nobody ever listens to me there anyway about anything, and 2. They don't care. They only know about it because it's affected my work ability and they haven't been "hateful" specifically about that, it's moreso some of them think I can't handle different tasks and the others don't think I'm as "autistic" as my other coworker who is also on the spectrum but needs more support, so they get mad when I tell them I can't handle doing certain tasks (which I'll talk about more in detail in another post). I just feel like I can't even tell people I'm autistic because of how I'm treated, and also because my mother thinks I shouldn't "Run around telling everyone". I only tell people I'm comfortable with talking to about it, but it still hurts hearing all that. Thoughts or any advice is much appreciated!! 💜
