Autistics unite!

[Inferno42]

Now, as many of you know, i have expreessed myy outrage about Jack thompson's post-VT attacks on video games. But last night, I saw something that really pissed me off. Geraldo Rivera, a well-known reporter, blamed autism. I am calling for all newgrounders with autism to write to FOX news and demand an apology from Geraldo. He has stereotyped me and many others as gun toting, homicidal maniacs, which we are not.

[LordZeebmork]

Some historians believe that Einstein and Newton were autistic.

So I guess Geraldo thinks Einstein went around shooting people? What an idiot.

You're autistic? You present yourself more intelligently than a good chunk of the rest of the BBS.

Lol tards.

Yeah, what's up with these people who think that just because somebody's autistic, (like I supposedly am, but I've been diagnosed (mostly misdiagnosed) with more mental problems than I can remember) they're automatically a "tard"?

Because it makes them feel worse than saying 'Lol autistics. '

I knew an autistic kid, he was very smart but we still called him a fucking moron cause he couldn't sit through one class without some retard outbreak.

Okay, what if I started calling everyone with a four-letter username on Newgrounds a tard?

Discriminating against autistics is a lot like racism. Okay, some of them act dumber, but that still doesn't justify being prejudiced against them, and they can't help whether they have it or not.

Being prejudiced against people who like rap, however...

[Aivi]

Lets'a go shoot some clever folks wid our boomsticks.

[LordZeebmork]

This thread seems like it's half stupidity and stereotyping, and half actually intelligent people explaining why the other half is wrong.

Stereotypes exist only because people are too lazy, bigoted, and egotistical to actually observe the world and realize that not everyone in a category acts the exact same way.

[LOLZILLA]

video games make me crazy :S

I know a slightly autistic kid, he has the Asperger syndrome, like a weak version of autism. I hate him.
