I have autism. I should say that now while the thread is alive. I'd tell a story but it's kinda long. :P
 
I have one austism brother, youngest in the family. He is naughty but at the same time so cute that everyone of us in the family love him to bits. So I am really upset or alittle angry when I heard people bully or discriminate autism child. If can, do they want to be born this way? And most certainly they don't deserve all those meany bully. They re also another human being like us just they are not born to behave like a normal child and need more amount of caring than us. I also knew from my brother's school that some parents feel so embarrassed to have such a child, they dump the kids to their grandparents and leave like they never had this child ever. It certainly hurt the child, we wouldn't understand.

My little brother is 21 this year but his acting is like a 5 years old boy throwing tantrum but also can be very happily laughing by himself. Also he is a quick learner despise being an autism child, how perfect will he be if he was normal, but even so, he still the treasure of our family. People who bully/discriminate such child are just acting same as you bullying a handicap.
 
I once was told I had symptoms of autism. However, it really is that I am shy and an introvert.

Well...I am proud of myself for handling myself. Sorry if that bothers you.

It doesn't, that's why I didn't say anything about it. We both have rights to be proud of ourselves, so I understand your concern about the way I phrased it but I assure you, I was just stating my feelings about myself. I'm confident about myself, and you should be too!

Thanks for clarifying. c:
I have a minor type of Autism, called Aspergers Syndrome. It's not as severe as worse cases.
 
I'm not too knowledged with the topic, however having been in a class with someone with both ADHD and severe autism, it was one of the worst things for him.. He just wasn't getting on in a normal public school, which was a shame as he used to say things like 'why do I have autism?'. When he had one of his breakdowns, he was awful. He'd constantly hit people and distract the lessons - when it's affecting other people's education I think something needs to be done. When you're in a state school, everybody is equal no matter what the issues.
 
Eh, I have mild autism myself. The only problem I have with other autists is when they try to use it as a "get out of jail free" card when they do something stupid. Geez, like, take responsibility for your own actions.
 
I'm not autistic (well not that I know of) but my 6 year old cousin is.
He doesn't understand emotions ect so when his teacher passed away from leukemia - I think that was it - my aunt didn't know how to tell him properly because of him autism. So she decided she had to explain to him what happened (he gets attached to familiar adults like most children that age) and so she helped him write a goodbye note to her; they tied it to a balloon and released it. He said goodbye to his teacher - my aunt and uncle were in tears when he asked where she was now (they told him she was in heaven and he asked why he couldn't go and take her back) :')

I cried when I was told this :S So yeah... I don't know why I shared that story but I didn't know what else to include in my 'thoughts' on it ~
 
I was actually close friends with someone that had Aspergers' and schizophrenia for several years. Sadly, he had a lot of other problems aside from those things and ended up being quite cold and insensitive to me after I moved away from our hometown. Whenever, I tried to address the issue of his insensitivity he said it was because he had Aspergers' and didn't have to act "normal". Whatever that means.
I don't talk him much anymore, though we do still communicate online from time to time, but I know better than to judge people with autism simply because of my relationship with him. I agree that people with autism should be treated just like anyone else. I think people should all be treated as equals, regardless of whether or not they have a specific disorder or whatever. I'm of the mindset that we are all equals, no matter what.

It makes me sad when people discriminate other people for not being EXACTLY the same as everybody else. It really grinds my gears that if you stand out even a fraction you are going to get picked on or treated differently. I have not met many autistic people but the people that I have briefly met tend to be kind and have an imagination that I really envy. , perfect is boring, all that matters is that you are confident with who YOU are and the person that YOU want to be. And if some people aren't happy with that then their loss!

Sorry, got a little preachy there :) I mean it all though!

My sister has autism and a few other joining issues, and my oldest sister has cerebral palsy. I have learned to live around disability my whole life and both my sisters are as sweet as pie. I primarily care for my sister while the other is being cared for in the proper facilities, I don't regret anything I've done to help them even though it has taken a toll on my life and emotional state, that's why we have family and I would never turn my back on them. I have also worked with people with various disabilities and all I have to say is-- god made us all with a purpose in mind, so every life is wonderful and valuable :)
 
I have autism and I use it to my advantage. I'm amazing at math, thanks to my autism.
 
I wouldn't say that Autism helps promote Math smarts, maybe you just have a good brain up there.
I'm Autistic and I'm a complete moron with maths.

Also I just generally laugh about it if people use it as a joke or as an insult, If anything I bet they're pretty Jel of us B)
 
Ehhheheh... Le smart people! I'm cool with them. They're better to hang out with! I don't have autism myself, but I've had a friend like that.
