Oh no, I forgot to celebrate Autistic Pride Day this year!

Meanwhile we have this exceptional individual celebrating by sweeping public property on a scooter.

That kid looks like he's going to fall right onto his inventive mind.

 

[BrokenEntity]

Let's make our own day, autistic HATE day

Better idea;
Let's not have a day celebrating pride or hatred for something that is an actual problem.
Autism awareness is fine because it's about bringing attention to the problem, not celebrating pride.

 

[Philosophy Zombie]

We wouldn't know the long-term physical and psychological affects of a cure. For all I know, I could turn into a fucking zombie.

Wow, so you'd rather have autism than be like me? Hurtful. I thought we were friends

It's not like it'll make him any more retarded.

I agree. We should hold off celebrating until after we quarantine and sterilize the autistic menace.

what if it CURED him?

Then we'd be dealing with either alien science, or straight up witchcraft.

Hang on wait, this ISN'T a Connor thread?

No no no, it was a connor thread, but now it's not.

Real talk though, why do autistic people in this neurodiversity movement act like it's a pride thing? Like... homosexuals don't have tremendous difficulty learning how to act in society because they're gay. At worst they might get some therapy for feeling guilty about their homosexuality but that's about it. A lot of autistic people really need help to learn how to be independent.

We really need to back off this "don't call us a disorder" trainwreck, it's going to leave some people who need serious help to not have access to that because of some HFA's fee fees.

All autistics are Connors.

I don't think I'll need my scouter to see all the powerlevels in this thread.

Now then, this is the time I'd just type "autism", right before fisting myself with hydrocholoric acid and jumping off of a cliff, but today, I'm not gonna make that mistake.

The reason is because autism is a thing that cannot be changed about somebody, and is regarded as a negative attribute, which it actually is for some people. With it being considered a negative attribute, people try to take pride out of the problem, and attempt to turn it into a positive thing, which is a damn shame. Autistic people need help, not pride in their issue.

Their parents are in denial and/or over coddling their child's 'tism is going to be my guess.

Really, guys? We're really going after autistics as a whole? Individuals on the spectrum are people as well. Just because some wires in the brain are fucked up doesn't make them any less of a sentient, breathing human being. To be honest, I actually forget I have a spectrum disorder ninety-nine percent of the time. It doesn't define me. Any one who thinks otherwise can go fuck themselves.

Sometimes I forget that i'm completely retarded. Maybe it's because I'm completely retarded.

But if we remove the stigma behind all of these conditions, what will the snowflakes self-diagnose themselves with to make themselves feel special and different?

If you were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, wouldn't you just forget you had it?
