Society doesn't truly have tolerance or understanding for people who have problems they can't help. Society only has tolerance and understanding for people who come off as helpless and child-like, amirite?

What I'm saying is people will only be accepting of someone's problems if they come off as innocent. Those with genetic disorders who have a very difficult time socializing are excused because they tend to be obviously disabled; e.g. various physical features that give away that they have a disorder or obviously lower intelligence. On the other hand, people who still have disorders but are not obvious are not treated with the same acceptance, even if it is known the person has a disorder.
