I'm aware of what autism is. I compared what you said to a situation you yourself are in

  • Right because I said he was incompetent and unable to achieve anything in life...hmmm or maybe YOU are the only one here that said that.

  • Hey, i know you made this comment in October and i'm a bit late but i feel you are discriminating against him because he's autistic, that's not right, yes he's going to struggle a bit more than you, that does NOT mean he's not cut for it, there are many different types of viewers who like different streamers, if anything, it's inspiring to see an autistic individual trying to put themselves out there and try something what many people with autism won't try themselves, reading this story on the post made me angry but i am proud of him for what he's trying to do and i'd love it if he could keep streaming. I'd also like to say that the understanding of autism isn't that great, millions of £ go into autistic research each year to understand it more but what you were saying about realising what Autism is, i don't think you realise what it is yourself, yes you may have used different sources of information to get a bit more of an understanding but that doesn't mean you know what it is yourself. Autism is a spectrum disorder, everyone with autism are very different from one another, just because you may have seen or know one person with autism does not mean you know everyone with autism, that's why it's so hard to understand. I know you may not have intentionally tried to make your comment sound a bit discriminating but it was a little bit, how is someone with autism going to learn how to better cope with a situation if they never get into these situations, it's no good wrapping someone up in bubble wrap is it? that's what it sounded like when you said " Lol no it's like realising what autism is and not letting your friend get in a situation where he could be hurt...Maybe look up some literature on autism? " I'm proud of this streamer and i hope he carries on, one last thing, i also have Autism.

    HAHA I have autistic family members, I watch out for them because they are both vulnerable is social situations. If someone or something causes them undue stress or sorrow repeatedly you bet I get right on fixing it. [quote]I'm proud of this streamer and i hope he carries on, one last thing, i also have Autism.[/quote]It's obvious you have autism you don't need to say it. Maybe look at this situation as a learning experience and see that streaming won't change and certain autistic people on the spectrum won't change either. Streaming doesn't have feelings but the people do. Can you see what I am getting at? It's a lose lose situation. If this streamer can change their reactions to criticism and teasing then they will do well and have fun but if not someone needs to step in when they won't stop and are just torturing themselves.
