I deal with my child and any child who comes across me with great respect. I
have somehow similar feelings & respect for their needs and their need to be
different.
But we stereotyped ones want the whole world to be act, think and be like us
(as if we are perfect ourselves).

Hi Rajasree

Anyway feeling very guilty after reading it.

They said to persevere. I began to perseverate. They discouraged me.
Be joyful they said. I flapped my hands with joyful feeling. Not like that they
said.
They used alot of words whereas I had not many. They said I needed to speak
like them and when I did they said it was the wrong words.
You need more friends they said as they forced me into the circle of bullies
they called my 'friends'.
You need to be independent they said. So I tried. No, not like that. No, you
cannot possibly do that.
Share your interests they said. So I did. We do not find that very interesting
they said. Stop repeating yourself!
You are in your own world they said. And with that final statement it occurred
to me- their world is not kind. Why is it better? Why must I be as them?
So whereas they refused to embrace or understand my world, I was forced to
assimilate into theirs, each day giving up a part of my very being.
It was then I decided to be empowered, to embrace that which they refused to
embrace, to be as I was, am, and will continue on to be. And I sought to share
a piece of my world with those who dare might understand.
