I'm probably making a big mistake posting this forum on the Clans and Guilds section, but whatever.
Anyway, I hear a lot of people seemingly making fun of autism, which is a developmental disorder that affects social behavior. Some people with autism (such as myself) have it minor, with mild to moderate social difficulties. Others have it so bad that they are in their own little world.
I just don't believe that autism should be used as a joke, since it is developmental in the brain and there is no known cure for it. It is largely unknown on why it forms inside the brain. I'm a bad forum writer, but seriously, it is rather offensive.
People with autism seem to struggle with social skills, which in turn may cause depression, lack of friends, and a lonely childhood life until they hit their teenage years in which the condition may improve.
Call me a party pooper if you must, but using autism as an insult just... isn't right in my opinion.

| You aren't allowed to post opinions here until you have 3,000 posts? Where is that rule? Where is it written down...? |

People saying he doesn't have enough posts to say this.
He isn't wrong, there are plenty of other things you can say, no need to use autism as an insult.

you know this same rant occurred a long time ago about the use of the word "GrAY" and "re-tarrd".
people still joke around about today, because we really don't care. it's a brief joke that will stay in your mind for literally 10 seconds or less if it's even that funny.
you can say you're being affected by it. you aren't. when you see someone post that, you'll literally forget it in 10 seconds |

@Timelock, I guess you're right there. Sometimes my mind dwells on things for months at a time, though. One of these was something concerning autism, so I decided to "speak my mind." I really don't like to be an oppressive idiot, though, wanting to restrict everyone's freedom of speech on this site. They can use "autism" as they please. I just think that there is a wider range of insulting vocabulary able to be used instead of "autism."

don't get me wrong, you're proving some good points.
however i'm sure another defect will be used as an insult to replace "autist" in the future, and the same discussion will be held on it. |
