This is one rant I have been wanting to do for so fucking long and never knew what to say in it. But here the fuck we go, Lugie.

Whenever I log on to a website, I generally just either throw 20k messages into the shitter, watch YouTube videos, play games or just chat with people. But sometimes I happen to find myself coming across some uneducated fuck who is calling people autistic for having an opinion. Now, normally I shouldn't be concerned, but because I actually HAVE Autism it really irks me for people to make such insults.

People always seem to treat Autism as some kind of disease.



Why do they do this? It's because they don't know the full concept of Autism:

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them.

It is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways. Some people with autism are able to live relatively independent lives but others may have accompanying learning disabilities and need a lifetime of specialist support. People with autism may also experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light or colours.

Asperger syndrome is a form of autism. People with Asperger syndrome are often of average or above average intelligence. They have fewer problems with speech but may still have difficulties with understanding and processing language.

Video- What is Autism?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4G0HT…
This video even answers your lifelong question of pure retardation: 'Is there a cure for autism?'
The simple answer is no, dumbfuck, people with autism cannot help having it. It's a condition, not AIDS or cancer.
Which brings up another thing. If you had cancer and you're insulting me for having autism, and everything is alright, why should I not insult you for having cancer and get away with it? It's a confusing world, isn't it?
Well, in all honesty, cancer is actually a fatal disease with no possible cure so...
Yeah.

And before anyone considers commenting on here and telling me to grow a thicker skin, because this is the internet... I know it's the internet, but because the fact that Autism is being insulted constantly... If I attacked your favourite thing or any conditions/diseases you had you wouldn't like it.

so i saw this rant i fully agree i have a brother with autism and he's an amazing boy, sure he's had struggles with understanding things at time but he makes up for it.I love him either way, he may through a hissy fit at times just because things aren't happening a certain way but we love him and at times we will adjust to what he thinks it should be, or we will calm him down and explain why we are doing it a certain way. so just because someone has autism it doesn't mean there stupid or anything they just don't understand things like we do at times,just because my bro's autistic don't mean i don't love him. i think we should all love the autistic for doing there best and being themselves.
