Author Topic: Autism.  (Read 5899 times)

The one thing I don't like seeing here is "wow you guys dont know what autism is".  Yes, I do.  I know like 2-3 people who have Autism and I've held conversations with them.  You're not a doctor and furthermore you cannot judge whether or not people know the definition of Autism or not.  If people fling the term around, great for them, but stop pretending to be the Keeper of Merriam-Websters.

this is like calling something gay in replacement for stupid, or when people make monday jokes

nobody is insulted and nobody should feel insulted

it's the internet, insults come in all colors and if you can't handle the rainbow you might as well get out.

Autism is a social disorder, it makes no sense to associate it with intelligence.
the same goes with gay

Most autistic people I know are loving geniuses.
This. My brothers autistic and he's in AP and always has A's. :C I normally get B's and suck at math.
