I just want to say in advance, i hope nobody is easily offended, But i hate that autistic people are treated as though austism consumes there soul or something. Now i understand that in some cases it does get in the way, like how some need to be chaperoned but I've met many autistic people and i say that they're just people. Sure they are different but aren't we all. But if an autistic kid is introverted or really likes to draw then the kids parents will say "oh its just his/her autism". NO IT ISN'T MORON, PEOPLE HAVE INTEREST SO STOP ACTING LIKE THEIR UNIQUE-NESS IS ATTRIBUTED TO AUTISM. Some people just don't understand that personality doesn't equal neurological development. I'm sure it may have SOME impact on them but if they're high functioning then what does it matter, Do all black people eat watermelons and KFC? Do all women cry easily. NO, so just stop. now i can't speak for autistic people but i imagine that would make them feel bad for people to assume autism is who they are. Honestly if you don't tell me ahead of time i wouldn't know someones autistic, why is that you say? Because they are a human being, i've met many unique characters in my time. So please people, have some tact and stop saying, "Oh this guys autistic so that's why he's an in doors kinda guy". I don't care what circumstance someone was born under because that doesn't make a man, its the choices that said man makes. Rant over.
Again terribly sorry if i offended any autistic people, i know this is a touchy subject for some.
