i have a lot of reasons to say this. i could write a huge post explaining everything in detail, but i'll tl;dr it for you.
i'll give you thee short reasons:
1. it's offensive to people with autism. i know people refute this with things like "they should stop being so sensitive," and to a degree, i agree, they really shouldn't take offense, but that doesn't mean you should do something that you know offends someone you didn't intend to offend. it's pointlessly harsh.
2. it's used out of context (most of the time). calling someone "autistic" in place of "stupid" or "idiot" just doesn't make any sense. they mean completely different things, and they aren't interchangeable terms. if you're going to insult someone, USE AN INSULT THAT MAKES SENSE.
3. autism is a very vague term. autism isn't just one disorder, it's an entire spectrum of disorders. it's like calling someone a body part when you meant to call them an arse. if you're going to try and use a mental disorder as an insult, actually use a bloody mental disorder.
yes this is the tl;dr'd version and it's still really bloody long by my standards. yes this looks like flamebait, but if you think it is, ignore it and move on. it really wasn't intended to be.

People say autism when they have a loss for words at the severe stupidity and lack of social recognition in someone's post.

You should argue that it's wrong to insult people in general and why |

"You should argue that it's wrong to insult people in general and why" i think it's fine to insult someone, especially if you have a good reason to do so.
the point of this thread is that "UR AUTISTIC" just plain isn't insulting.

it's a stronger version of the word stupid the way people use it
watch someone use that in a disagreement and see flames come up since it offends them :P
true meaning or not, it's the way people use the word |

Shouldn't have to explain what makes it a bad insult.
People should know this. |
