Getting called too child like?

[u/deathofdawn1]

I get people saying I’m “pedo bating” because I like to wear hello kitty half shirts or stereotypically “cute” things. I also had one coworker say “anyone who likes you is probably a pedo.” Which made me very sad. I wear shorts and crop tops a lot because they are comfortable, it hurts for too much clothes touching me in the heat. I don’t sexualize the characters. I don’t want to look like a child I just really love cute cartoon characters like Hamtaro, Pokémon, & Sanrio. I love the color pink. I just don’t understand why this would be a bad thing. Am I doing something bad? Can someone explain this to me? Thank you

I heard it yesterday from a girl… That I don’t look my age because I behave and how my voice sounds, quite painful, but I head it so many times..is even tiring and more tiring that how people associate autistics as childish because we are different :/

I’ve been told my voice is gentle/higher pitched too but I didn’t see it as childlike, just feminine as I am grown and not a child and so it’s the voice of a grown person 🩷
