Autism is a very significant and prevalent physiological disorder that affects things from speech to social skills. Autism affects over 70 million people on this Earth, and has no absolute cure, although there are many different forms of therapy that help to make the condition manageable. Autism is a defined by a series of spectrums by which we are all measured.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IS AT LEAST SLIGHTLY ABNORMAL ON AT LEAST ONE OF THESE SPECTRUMS (Not to the point of noticeable autism, but still, it is there.)

To call someone an "autist" is to imply that having autism is a bad thing, which is quite untrue. Although people with autism deal with their own set of difficulties, there are plenty of people with a form of noticeable autism who have gone on to accomplish incredible things, as autism often provides people with unique talents and abilities A few of these people include:

Tim Burton, Bill Gates, Andy Warhol, Temple Grandin, Mark Twain, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Many of these people have accomplished more than any of us can ever hope to, and are as much people as we call ourselves.

TO LABEL SOMEONE AS AN "AUTIST" TO INSULT THEM IS THE EQUIVALENT TO INSULTING SOMEONE FOR THEIR RACE; IT'S BARBARIC.

It is for these reasons and a million more that I ask you to think greater, and stop using "autist"

Thanks.

Because we have people on here that can't think of anything else to call someone or love to insult people for the heck of it.
And some act like they got autism.

My life is written in ink because I can't erase my past nor get rid of my mistakes.

"And some act like they got autism."

I actually have autism (high functioning/asperger's).

I find it funny when people call me autistic for several reasons...one of the better ones being: I'm smarter than most people who use the word as an insult.

@Calis - Cheers.

@Hugga - If the forum solely functioned on that, people would never have begun using the word, and I would have never had reason to make this thread.
