Insults and autism

Yes, I feel Yuji was the only person severely bullying in that thread. The rest was constructive criticism which I was okay with. I'm sorry if I accused anyone else in the process of all that.

Personally I never saw that thread since I haven't been on the last 2/3 days. But in all honesty, I'm someone with autism myself and insults regarding it never bother me whatsoever. If anything I feel like people do that just as a way to make people feel like crap for something that they were born with. Someone can't help being autistic, that's just a part of who they are. But when it comes to the insults side of thing it just ends up falling flat and makes the person who's insulting look stupid. Personally the insult attempts that people made on me have all failed. It's nothing more than a way to provoke a reaction and things like that never get to me, if anything it makes me laugh at the fools who think they are funny and hard for picking on someone for a learning disability. If you're autistic just don't let it bother, be the bigger man or woman and ignore it because people like that are juvenile and they aren't worth your time, effort nor energy. There's nothing wrong with being autistic, nothing wrong whatsoever. As long as you're living in the real world, working towards your goals and trying your best then everything's alright. Take it from me since I used to be on the very high end of the spectrum when I was younger. As for insults in general, I try my very best to never say anything bad whatsoever - although a lot of my harsh, constructive criticism with anything in general may come off as insulting, but that's never my intention. But nonetheless I try to keep my mouth shut.

I know what you mean because I have High Functioning Autism -_- When I was in Middle School I got bullied for being Autistic,especially for being socially awkward and getting stuck on certain topics like Gremlins/Gizmo and Japanese Anime.I had a very hard life for being Autistic -_-

I hardly ever heard about Autism when I was younger but now that's all I hear about the anime/gaming subcultures. Like either everyone is autistic or it's just the go to popular insult. (Like the modern version of when everyone was calling everyone "gay").

I've had many friends with autism and well, Fancy is autistic, if I recall reading about it. And I still love her. And I've had positive and negative interactions with them, but not because of autism because they are people like you and me. So, both good and bad. A lot of people have believed I'm autistic. I'm not, I have a mood disorder, which is similar to what was once called "Aspers". I've been called this both in a derogatory manner, and from other self-styled "Aspies". I mean, even if I was, I wouldn't want to be associated with all of them. I associate and distance myself when I want to on my own terms. Not by someone else's standards. So, I live and let live I guess. Grouping a person with others based on one common trait is not fair, especially when using derogatory terms.
