AUTISM as a put-down/JUST STOP

Just stop. Stop using autism as a put-down. As the parent of a daughter on the autism spectrum, its disheartening when ignorant people use it as a term of derision, not just these forums, but in everyday life. People on the spectrum process information in very unique ways, but also exhibit behaviors that typically minded folks may find odd. They can also exhibit uncanny genius--my daughter by age 5 knew world capitals better than most grownups, having an eidetic memory. Unless you personally know someone affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) you don't know jack, & your digs are borne of spiteful indifference. So to all who would continue to do so, there goes your insensitive theory, plummeting out a high-rise window. Autism: different...not worse. **daughter Dylan drops mic/walks offstage** [b]Ninja edit:[/b] [spoiler]This thread has been moved to [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/140397455/0/0]#Offtopic,[/url] a more appropriate forum for this offtopic discussion.

  • You know this is the internet right? Your opinion doesn't really matter, and typing a 3 paragraph post isn't going to do much. Those 3 paragraphs aren't going to change people's minds overnight.
