A mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

Now where does this make people stupid? Where does this disable people? Nowhere, huh? I figured.

People with Autism suffer from the following:

a. Lesser intelligence than normal people; aggression, compulsive behavior, screaming, interest in limited subjects while having problem focusing__How are you going to learn from that? Scoring lesser on IQ tests too.

b. Have tendencies to steal because they can't understand or are bored

c. Few can swim because many are afraid to drown and/or don't want to take their shirts off because they're fat and embarrassed about it

d. Like to eat watermelon and corn bread, whilst drinking grape soda. Because they have no understanding of real good food.

That's BS, all of it.

It's true and you know it

d. Like to eat watermelon and corn bread, whilst drinking grape soda. Because they have no understanding of real good food.

LOL

I know some autistic people, and none of them do that. Although, they sometimes do obsess over one type of food. Like the main kid I know loves chicken nuggets and pizza with all his heart.

I apparently have Asperger's and:

Lesser intelligence than normal people

no

b. Have tendencies to steal because they can't understand or are bored

no, never

c. Few can swim because many are afraid to drown and/or don't want to take their shirts off because they're fat and embarrassed about it

none of it

d. Like to eat watermelon and corn bread, whilst drinking grape soda. Because they have no understanding of real good food.

what the hell


Also... why this is in "General" forums?

I forgot to add denial to the list

how is autism as an insult any different from ones race

Well, "race" is a very broad thing. There's going to be everybody, while autism is a specific mental disorder that makes you lesser knacked.

, their gender preference, or other mental/physical conditions?

I don't see anything wrong with using these as an insult, either.

grow up.

Curb your egoism.

Now where does this make people stupid? Where does this disable people? Nowhere, huh? I figured.

Those who have autism can't use their brain as well, and not using your brain well enough is ultimately what dumbness is.

Implying that autism is a form of dumbness is whack. I thought you were an intilligent person Infection, but I was wrong.

There are some positive things about autism as well.
I know a kid who's 5 years younger than me but still manages to know a lot more about the subject of science than me. He asks me the most complex questions I never could answer. He even can remember a whole wikipedia page and is able to tell the whole wiki page to others in its very details without looking up the internet. That kid isn't dumb, he's a genious! Clear up your misconceptions.

if you think its ok to diss people because of that stuff, I will waste no more words on you, other than that to say you should stop being a major jerk.

"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.

How capable an autistic is, depends on many things, not just their base level of intelligence, just like everyone else. I know a lot of people who are supposed to be very smart, but haven't accomplished anything, even though they are supposedly "gifted". they prefer to be complacent, sitting back and making snide remarks of everyone else to make themselves feel better.

if nothing else, these threads are good for supplying my blacklists. :P

This thread is so pointless. I can't believe 40 people have even considered to answer this question proposed by a 7 year old who gets no attention at home, so he wants to get attention from people on the warlight forums. Go get some real friends Cacao.

yer right, why am I even here when I know the eventual result? ;-;

First off, let me be clear: I support autistic as an insult to be handled the same as dumb is. That means - don't use either.

Implying that autism is a form of dumbness is whack. I thought you were an intilligent person Infection, but I was wrong.

According to OED:

dumb - Stupid.
stupid - Lacking intelligence or common sense.
intelligence - The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

A mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

Lacking ability to acquire the sufficient social skills, speaking, and some other stuff.

There are some positive things about autism as well.

So? You can be ignorant and intelligent at the same time, one specific insult doesn't mean you're bad in all ways whatsoever. Your example here (I assume is lightly mentally ill), you can be autistic but not dyslexic, and same about. Just since you know what a photon basically is does not mean you're super smart at all the sciences.

if you think its ok to diss people because of that stuff, I will waste no more words on you, other than that to say you should stop being a major jerk.

You know, that's just bigotry. First you showed egotism, now this is just bigotry. You refuse to even argue a point. You know how doltish that is? God, some folks.

Autism and other mental illness are anti-intelligence. If you are mentally ill, it lowers your intelligence (but can be balanced out kind of), if you are dumb, it lowers your intelligence. Now you tell me the difference.

if nothing else, these threads are good for supplying my blacklists. :P

I don't blacklist folk for having different opinions and thoughts than me - I only blacklist for general rudeness and insults. For those who have different, controversial, and/or unfounded thoughts to me, I try to talk with them (like I am you) to gain new outlook and knowledge. Unfortunately, most Warlight just deals with just general insulting.
