Why is an autistic person getting angry always pathologized no matter what?

Question

Autistic person here -

Stigma, stigma, stigma. Also stigma. Very few laypeople truly understand what autism is and see us as freaks. What do you do when a freak is angry? You pathologize. Neurotypical people often think we feel emotions differently or misunderstand what an autistic meltdown is, so we are rarely taken seriously

Be angry all you want in those cases, but don’t use autism to make yourself a victim. It has nothing to do with it.

Lmao thats so disrespectful I never said it did the point of the question was an autistic persons feelings being denied when we feel like everyone else and you claiming you know about a situation your not it. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Irrelevant to my question. If your gonna come to my sensitive questions you have to respect me. I know you probably dont want people to be politically correct on your post right. Dont be a hypcorite.
