i hate how autism is viewed

@Yanderemenhera said in i hate how autism is viewed:

1. people who do vile shit and its somehow ok.

My sibling has been on the receiving end of this one with literal death threats in school from this one kid. Lovely school system had them in the same classes until just before winter break DESPITE a total of three death threats and him bringing a handful of bullets to school.
But regardless, I agree with everything you've said. I really hate being treated like I can't do things myself, or treated like I should be able to do things that I can't actually do. I'm definitely still young but I don't need to be treated like a primary schooler.

I believe that people take the disorder part in autism spectrum disorder too seriously. While there are individuals who do need specialized care, that doesn't mean every individual with that disorder requires that type of care.

i remember seeing something on yt, someone was saying its ableist and privileged to correct spelling. i don't see the issue tho! if i mispell something i'd want to be corrected on it, bc a simple mispelling could confuse people or make people think you mean something else. and, wtf are teacher's supposed to do then? like seriously bro.... people who act like that online embarrass the the hell out'a me and just annoy me to no end.

Holy shi this is obv the most agreeable thing i've ever heard, vro. whenever your known as autistic in middle school/high school that alone is the human equivalence as a death penalty but the penalty is genuine harassment from people atp shouldnt even exist anymre with there "Juicy Couture" type shi and the "Fake White Ghetto Culture" like i swear these niche ahh ppl would just come up to you and say "yo (insert name), are we friends" vro. you secretly said that i was to slow to comprehend that question. And whats worse of all is that whenever i take a little too long to solve a question i dont know, my class would be mad at my shi as if i chose the wrestle camp over the million dollars (spongebob reference btw)

as an person whos diagnosed with autism i could relate alot like sometimes the special treatment genuinely pmo if i dont need it at all ( my teachers always treat me like im 5 years old just because im different ) it sucks sometimes

unrelated but i dont have it but my friend does n hes hella talented, he makes music and hes a rlly good animator, hes learning coding rn

i 100% agree with everything youve said meow. in school i was always treated differently and it only pushed me to be more isolated. i just wanted to add in my two cents on this statement here:

this would take resources away from those who need them more

i get what you mean and i think if you genuinely dont want to accept help from programs/stuff like that, thats okay!! but this statement isnt quite true, in fact, its the opposite.
when local, state, or federal programs or nonprofits offer assistance to certain groups of people, 99.99% of the time it actually helps MORE to accept it. many people have the same mindset that accepting it means someone else wont get it. but accepting it means the program can say theyre helping more and more people, which in turn, gives them more funding to help more people who need it. this applies to many things, its generally helpful to boost their program's metrics so they can receive more funding.

just my two cents, not trying to change your mind, but i hope this might encourage others to not feel bad about accepting assistance and stuff.

[snailbly]

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 ngl I lowk like how some y2k girlies pull that brand off..

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@SodaDoctor this is gonna be derailment, so I'll only type this reply..but juicy couture is actually so cute, like the brown sugar and black one is def my fave. I wanna buy a set, but they're so damn expensive the most I could hope for is 'undergarments' and maybe other accessories my mom likes juicy couture, so we'll see
