A couple of days ago, I was on the West Midlands Public bus. I have aspergers syndrome and I got confrontation thrown at me by a woman on the bus and by then I was stressed out and I froze because of my autism. The bus driver + people on the bus thought I was rude as they tried talking to me and I froze and couldn't speak. Everyone thought I was being rude when I froze due to my autism. I got attacked because of my autism. If the bus driver knew about my autism this could of been avoided.
