Why does everyone think autism is just the violent and screeching kind?

Every single time. Every. Fucking. Time. I tell anyone I’m autistic they say “but you can’t be! You talk so well and never hit yourself!” My mother beat me if I had meltdowns. No matter where they were so I learned to mask and mask hard. Of course you never seen that you troglodyte! I didn’t want to be beat again! Why does everyone see autism as the nonverbal, violent and loud stereotype? That’s such a small percentage of the entire spectrum!

That is all. I’m sorry I’m just so worked up over this stupid shit.
