Autism and why it shouldn't be taken seriously.

So yesterday i was at Carls Junior, buying my regular Murrika burger with a side of freedom fries and a liberty shake. As i was standing in line, inhaling the intoxicating fumes of freedom and feeling the cold steel of my glock26's slide pressed up against my hip, i could not help but think, " i love america" and then proceed to hum the national anthem. Sadly, my patriotic euphoria was cut short by what can only be described as the sounds the angels make in the evangelion series.

It was Some cunt mom (probably librul) with her fucking monster of a 8-10 year old. This kid just wouldn't shut the fuck. Right off the bat, "WHY ARE WE HERE? I WANNA GO TO MCDONALDS, I WANT A TOYYYYY". Anyway, i get my food and sit down at a nice window seat. Unfortunately, the mom and her kid sat right next to me. I endured 10 minutes of the kid screaming, crying, and running around, while the mother literally does NOTHING. "h-honey, get back here. come on now baby, eat you food" that was her the entire time. I wanted to fucking strangle that kid, and rape his mother.

I was almost done with my food anyway, so i decide not too. BUT THEN. OH GOD THEN. The kid walks up to me and looks me straight in the eye, and blasts half a ketchup packet all over my jeans and one of my boots. My instincts kick in, and i snatch the ketchup packet from his hand. This causes the kid to immediately start crying and run to his mother.

Cunt mom:" DID YOU JUST TOUCH MY SON?" "HOW DARE YOU, BLAH BLAH BLAH."

Me: "HE JUST GOT KETCHUP ALL OVER ME!"

Cunt mom: "HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HES DOING, HE HAS AUTISM." "MUH AWWWWWWWWWTISM, BLAH BLAH."

Me: " OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY SOME ACTUAL PARENTING."

Cunt mom: "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE"

Me: "FUCK YOU TOO, BITCH"

I then proceeded to grab the rest of my fries, do a 360, and storm out of the establishment.


So is it just me, or does every other fucking kid have autism now? Supposedly, 1 out of 88, or some bullshit like that. Now, call me an asshole, but im pretty sure that 90% of those "diagnosed" with autism have nothing wrong with them. Its bad parents, like the one in my story, that don't know how to properly discipline their child. They go to a doctor looking for an excuse to justify their children's bad behavior, and of course, doctors jump at the opportunity to sell more drugs. Thus, freeing parents of their responsibility and reinforcing the child's bad behavior.

When ever i acted up as a kid, my mother never took me to a doctor to see if there was something "wrong" with me. She Slapped my shit, even in public. But noooooooo, we cant have that anymore, because muh child abuse laws. Instead, we tell them that something is wrong with them, and pump them full of drugs.


B-but shig, what about the people that really DO have autism?

what about them? Should i treat them any different? Should we tell them that its ok to act out in public because they have autism? No. They will have to learn what is acceptable in public, and what isn't. We should not reinforce them either.


SO

reasons why we shouldn't take autism seriously :

-frees parents of their responsibilities

-reinforces bad behavior in kids

-reinforces the bad behavior of people who actually do have autism

-the drugs for autism are sketchy as fuck



i feel the same way about Aspergers, ADHD, ADD, and any other one of those pseudo diagnosis.

Fully agree with you and found your story rather amusing (btw I believe you mean you did a 180?).
It's hard on the parents who have REALLY disabled children, but yet again, raising a child is a great responsibility as it is. When someone decides to keep the baby, they have decided to raise the child well regardless of what they are like.
Saying your child is disabled is no excuse to let them misbehave in public. A disabled child can still learn from a smack on the arse. And if that doesn't stop them, a good old apology is always welcome.

To slightly deviate, that mother who had a bitchfit because you snatched the ketchup wrapper from the kid.... that brings up a whole different thing (though slightly related to your comment about what's considered child abuse). What is it with people in this day and age, where you can't touch, talk to or even acknowledge the existence of children without being deemed a paedophile? Fucking ridiculous! It's like my sisters when they were kids were eating in a fish n' chips shop and some older couple were on the opposite table. After they finished they gave my sisters a few quid each for being so well behaved. In this day and age, if random people gave children some money out of goodwill, people would find it odd or see some "ulterior motive".

I am diagnosed with aspergers myself and i agree with you on a lot of cases. When it comes to autism and ADHD a lot of it very much depends on how children are being raised, luckily i'm one who turned out better because my parents are responsible people who took their time on reading about it, but if i were placed with ignorant parents i'd be a lot worse off, being diagnosed with autism or adhd doesn't give you a free pass of being a fucking annoying twat.

What i do disagree with is your ancient method of how to treat children, the problem isn't that people should beat the bad behaviour out of their children because psychological statistic have proven that it is counter productive but instead parents should actually take their time to read how to properly raise someone with autism and improve their behaviour that way.

cool story

Despite having ADHD, I was actually well behaved growing up as a kid. The only problems I had, and still do, was that its easier for me to fuck up on things sometimes.

That would only be funny coming from you.

My knowledge on autism is serverly limited, I always though children with such afflictions were closed off, unresponsive almost "mute" like.

That crack head does anything to my fucking boots i would've raped him

It's really hard to explain. I myself, have aspergers, yet I feel no different from everyone else and function pretty normally. But then there are some kids who really DO have severe autism like my cousin. He can't really function around people without getting completely nervous and hiding. Whenever we visit him, he just hides in his room for the majority of the visit. He'll come down for food and say high to everyone for a bit, but then he'll rush back. If you want to know more about how some autistic kids really function, read The Curious incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It's a pretty good read.

My mom is a special needs teacher and she works with autism a lot. It can be hard controlling a kid, but none of them have really done anything like that.

So Toxic, Stigma, Chobo and Azazael all have some form of aspergers .... coincidental? I just find it odd, for lack of a better word, that four people on this site have the same "problem".

Should of pulled out the glock and pop a few rounds in the air, that would get the kid to understand.

That kid just sounded like a brat. Besides, the spectrum for which autism falls under is incredibly broad because parents want their kids to get special benefits from the state; as a result, pretty much anything is categorized as a form of autism these days, even if it's just mental retardation.

I suspect children who don't have Austism or ADHD or shit like that are being diagnosed with it anyways just so pharmaceutical companies can sell more drugs. Like every study they do says more children have autism or adhd than an older study.

Unless they're just putting the autistic people in charge of the studies.

Are you aware that there are different types of Aspergers, despite the fact that this is a single condition? Just as there are various personalities in neurotypical individuals, there are different traits among people within a certain diagnosis. Plus not to be stereotypical but having a passion for specific hobbies with fiction in particular could logically explain that many people with autism would enjoy games.

However i do agree that many kids these days are very much overdiagnosed too easily with autism as it's kind of become a sensationalized concept, which makes people that are really autistic look bad.

Lies. You're just trying to get us to lower our guards so you can infect us with the disease. It's why I've always browsed this site whilst wearing a medical mask.

@ people with autism, aspergers, ADHD, etc

have you ever thought that maybe nothing is wrong with you? that it was all just a lie?


can you point to any event or things you have to put up with everyday as a result of your condition?

I know two kids who have autism/aspergers.

One of them shows it.

With the other kid, I haven't noticed anything.

I generally suffer from poor non-verbal skills, formal speech, inability mostly to recognize emotions or to read body languages, preference of repetitive tools and behaviours, an outstanding field of knowledge in one specific erea (biology in my case) while suffering in knowledge in other fields (math and physics), delay in motoric skills and sensory difficulties.

Same thing here.

"The drugs for autism are sketchy as fuck"

Explain. I have never heard of any drugs.

Anyone who thinks there's actually medications for autism primarily has clearly failed their psychiatry course...

This is like the third rant about mentally challenged people on this forum...
