You could talk about how "the dignity of risk" is something that is a basic human right claimed by the self-advocacy movement.

You could say that you're an adult who has more than enough knowledge and skill to stay safe.

You could say that you felt disrespected by the response.

In any case, it would be helpful to clarify what you think and feel about what was said, and respond accordingly based on that.
