It disgusts me how everyone thinks I'm stupid because I have autism. They always speak to me like a robot so I can understand them better. In all honesty, the only thing that it made me understand is how big of an ******* these kids really are.

That's pretty mean. People treat me like that too, not because of my autism, but for my taste in films in general.

Seriously? Your taste in films? People these days will just insult people in ANYWAY they can. I just wanna, UGH. UUUUGHHHH!
 
I don't have a problem with anyone with autism, in fact, one of my best friends has autism and he is one of the lovelist well-mannered person i've ever met. I just don't like it when people judge people with autism, or when they use autism as an insult to someone who clearly doesn't have it... kind of like "gay" kids are always like "lol ur gay" when they're not. and it shouldn't be used as an insult and ugh.

I agree. I hate it when people use "gay" as an insult. I just can't explain my anger in that. It's just plain rude. I can't find another word for it.. I may not agree with gay marriage and stuff, but I don't insult them by telling everyone who is "stupid" gay. It's just rude.

Does anybody else act politer online then in real life?

Me. lel

Anyways, I don't let the fact that someone has autism change my view of them, similarly to how I don't judge people if they're LGBT(and whatever other letters are included). I'm indifferent towards everyone, and don't "read labels". Example: If there's a gay autistic person that's super nice and friendly, I'll like them as a person better than a non-autistic straight person that has a horrendous attitude. c: #Indifferenceftw
 
Um... Well, I had a bad experience with autism.

My youngest brother has autism. My mother already had 4 other kids by the time she had him. I think she probably shouldn't of had any more as it was. But to have a kid who needed extra attention was just too much. She basically shut down at that point, locking herself away in the basement, doing stuff on the internet. And I was forced to take care of the entire family. From that point on, my childhood stopped. And it was the start of completely wrecking my relationship with my mother. She just became a horrible person after having my little brother and breaking down. I'd rather not go into the extreme details of what happened. But let's just say I have not seen her since 2002, I have no idea where she lives anymore (she ran away with a new boyfriend about a year after I moved out, leaving the rest of the family to take care of the kids), and I really, really don't want to see her ever again. Heck, I don't even live in the same country as her anymore.

I don't blame my brother at all. It was my mother's fault for shutting down, not getting help, and making a kid basically have to spend all non-school hours taking care of the house and taking care of kids.

FWIW, my autistic brother was a really sweet kid. He would just have these breakdowns pretty often because he didn't know how to deal with various things and he simply didn't understand.

I can't say anything that hasn't been said to you 1000 times before but nonetheless thats just heartbreaking ;-;.

I literally act the same offline ;-; I wish I has an amazing snazzy online personality but alas I aint got ****.
 
I think you shouldn't treat autistic kids any different from normal human beings. Sure, when they are little they whine a lot, and they may not catch on to things as quickly, but they are still human beings. Some people treat autistic kids like they need this and that and this when in reality they don't. I know that they need special one-on-one convos at time, but that's about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they wont ever need any help, but they are human beings. That's basically my point. They are the same as everyone else. I'm not autistic, but I know that autistic kids have lots of potential. I know one in first grade, and he is just precious :D .

I have sickle cell, so I often miss school and things, but I always catch up. It's challenging(don't get me wrong), and it takes me at most a week to catch up. But I overpowered it. I have the top grades in my class despite being hospitalized/sick in bed for several days of school. I know autistic kids can do the same, overpowering something they were born with.
And that's my opionion on autism.

I don't have any disorder, but I have experience with a child who does. I was in 4th grade, and we went to the second grade classroom to get our book buddies. Mrs. Lester, the second grade teacher, described what her kids needed in a book buddy, and she reached a boy named Philip. He was a very sweet kid, and needed a little extra attention, but in the short time I was his book buddy, he changed my views entirely on autism.

What was your original thought of autism?
 
I don't know, but I guess it was bad, as one time an autistic child bit me. But keep in mind this was like 5 years ago.
 
Like many of you my brother has autism. He motivates me to work hard in school. I love him so much, we play video games together, and we love each other. I cannot imagine life without him having Autism.
 
Okie, time for stories, yay.
I was never a very well behaved kid. All my teachers and parents thought that I was doing everything I did on purpose, but no.
I got diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome in fourth grade, which is late. My life changed.
I felt isolated, different, and like I didn't belong. I was reluctant to work with others, even more then I had been before. I felt alone.
I'm been getting better, and better. I feel almost normal now. But the fact that I have a disorder, and it will be there all my life nags at me. Honestly, AC and the internet are my happy place. I don't have to deal with people face to face.
I have social anxiety. Whenever I try to be social, I say something weird, and everybody ignores me. Literally, all the kids that I dislike dislike me back. I get bullied for having anger issues. You don't even know, bullies. You don't even know...

So yes, this is me venting. My entire life so far has been turmoil, chaos, and uncertainty. Maybe that is why I like perfection and systems so much. I have worry problems as well. Lucky me, I get to take pills. I swear I have two different sides, one angry, brash, and feminine, and one quiet, scared, and scattered.

Sometimes I hate my life. But I know that it is worth living.
 
it kinda scares me when the kids who talk to the ones with autism see them as toys or little angels. or you know befriend them as a joke. it makes me so sad.
