What is it with people and the word, "autism"?

[dudeman162]

How is that word funny? When was it considered an insult?

Why do people use it as a synonym for stupid when some of the smartest people in the world are autistic?

And most of the people using it as insults don't even know the real symptoms of autism.

Only a person with schizophrenia would incorrectly label a mental disorder to somebody.

Also Jenny McCarthy is a moron.

It began as a way of telling someone they're socially inept, then evolved into a general stupidity insult.
