My mind is seeing everyone as a threat today. I don't know why. The bus driver was lovely. The waiters were lovely. The uber driver was lovely. The pharmacists were lovely. Yet I'm still expecting adults to just start yelling at me like they did when I was a child and did something I didn't know was wrong (or wasn't even wrong, just not neurotypical). Or talk down to me and berate me like they did when I was a teenager. But now I'm an adult, other adults actually treat me with respect. And I'm glad. But why couldn't people have done that when I was younger? I was a kid, I didn't know any better, yet I was held to much higher standards than I am now.
