I am semi-verbal.

I can't talk most of the time, that does stop me from having a conversation yes.

Processing Sensory information takes priority over social circuits in my brain, physically.

So I am unapologetically autistic and no I don't have to break my brain to try to fit in.

If people find my disabilities upsetting thats stereotype ableism and yes it happens often

I never said you had to be good at talking. But you can be bad at talking and also not anxious, which it sounds like you are.
Humans associate "bad at talking" with low intelligence so getting called a "retard" when my IQ is high average does cause anxiety, yup.
