misleading title i am sorry. i have no idea how else to put it. this isn't a troll post, and it'll be fairly long at least for me.
what do i mean by autism problem?
the fact it's used as an insult. i have never been on a site so negative to autism. i made an account with autism in the username. it got banned. for inappropriate username. i emailed appeals and they said it was inappropriate but wouldn't explain why. kept doing the automated reply to read the rules. but where on the rules does it say you can't put it in the username? so i messaged a mod on roblox. here is the response:
"The reason it was ban was because players typically (by typically I mean almost always) use autistic as an insult."
that felt bad. and now that i think of it is really is a problem on roblox. autism groups are full of trolls which have driven away the actual autistic people. they're inactive apart from the occasionally troll coming in and screaming in all caps or insulting members. autistic people can't feel safe on roblox. i think that needs to change and badly. actual autistic people (me) are getting banned but the trolls continue. should be the other way round.
why should roblox care?
because it's one of the biggest online gaming sites. there are plenty of autistic people on roblox. a lot of tv programs are now putting autistic characters in them to raise awareness because when people use it as an insult they usually don't know what they're saying so if they know what it is the idea is that they won't use it as an insult anymore. or insult those with it. that's happened a lot. recent example is sesame street. yes i know different age audience than roblox (sesame is street is younger kids so like 7 or under and roblox is older kids so 8-18) but the idea is the same sort of. i mean they can't do characters because roblox isn't a tv show it's a game. but they can definitely do something especially in autism awareness month (that's april so they have time to prepare for it)
so if anyone has any ideas on what they can do to raise awareness please post below i don't think this hatred should go on any longer
the stats of how many people: (from the cdc)
1 in 6 have a developmental disability 1 in 42 boys have autism 1 in 68 kids have autism 1 in 189 girls have autism
that's a lot of robloxians so something needs to be done now |

i agree to fixing the autism problem, i have Austism and when i go on games where they use it as an insult i ussually have to educate them about autism and how it is not actually a bad thing... and overall kids with Autism are actually nice to hang around with from an outsider view they are wierd but as you get to know them they are actually quite nice and funny

| it's discrimination, not just a case of us getting easily offended. i lost my account to the anti-autism discrimination on roblox. and you won't find this sort of thing against other disabilities so why autism? because people hear it from others that's why. |

| not personally seen lung cancer used as an insult but autism is used so much. also just because other things are used as insults doesn't mean there should be no effort to stop things one thing at a time |

| awareness helps though there's a reason other things aimed at kids do autism awareness and because roblox lacks it i think it is making the bullying of autistics more prevalent than it otherwise would be |

| Yeah but the moment you go deep and are legitimately talking about the effects on the brain of the disorder, Some will go berzerk and report. and i dont know about you, but when ever i report, i see no action, when someone reports me, its instant. |

who said i didn't care? i am not mean. i don't want people to do what i want no. but 1 in 68 robloxians have autism it's not just about me millions of registered users are autistic.
and if they follow me repeatedly and keep insulting me that is bullying. they then went on to bully me for being autistic. there is no way this is not bullying. every definition says it is.
"An act of intimidating a weaker person to do something, especially such repeated coercion" "Persistent acts intended to make life unpleasant for another person"
that's exactly what they were doing. also do find it weird that you're bringing up and remembering something that happened like a year ago but ok. |

never ever reply to my posts again i want you to go away because i seriously want to quit roblox with all this harrassment because i posted on roblox when i got bullied and since then you've followed my posts for months. not a single thread i've started doesn't have your reply. not one. you come in and take apart me and my idea and i am sick of it and i am asking you to stop. i made a new account to escape this and i may do it again because it's unreasonable. go away. i want nothing to do with you.
can we get back on topic now? |

you keep spreading lies about me and saying i've said things that i haven't and i just want you to go away. it's constant. you keep saying mean things about me in every thread i post. calling me self centered. saying i don't care. saying i'm not saying anything useful. i just want it to stop. i quit foruming because of you following me and trying to ruin my reputation for no reason. i made a new account for a fresh start. made new friends. and it got deleted for having autism in the username because autism is apparently an insult.
just go away already i'm sick of you. months on end. cut it out. |

stop derailing my threads. if you want to say everything you hate about me make a new thread. this is NOT to do with autism and is off topic.
should i make a new thread or can mods delete this entire argument or something because i dont want yet another thread to die because of this guy |
