In response to "We're using autism as a taunt now, are we? nm" by ralph wiggum

I was trying to figure out what he meant.

Because I didn't think anyone would go around thinking "autistic people? yeah, they suck." And if they did, I would have expected them to keep such thoughts to themselves.

- well sure, if he *really* suffers from autism, then you were totally in line to call him out on that -- nm - milky Aug 30, 18:44 4
  - I must have hit some political correctness nerve here.. It's not about autism. It's about one very annoying individual. - Facto Aug 30, 18:52 3
    - you just broke pixie's irony meter -- nm - dogbert Aug 30, 18:56 2
      - ("eff off and die" kinda springs to mind.. and I rewrote it in a slightly nicer way, I believe :-) -- nm - Facto Aug 30, 18:59
      - yay me -- nm - Facto Aug 30, 18:57
- I'll just link your original post here so people can see for themselves how full of shit you are. -- (link) - TFox Aug 30, 18:44 12
  - Yeah, this makes sense. - Facto Aug 30, 18:49 5
    - actually yes, using autism as an insult in this particular company, twice, does put you on the very low end of the ST meter. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 18:52 4
      - what's it with "this particular company"? -- nm - Facto Aug 30, 18:55 3
        
        as in, there may be hives of dumber individuals on the net who'd giggle and high five at a good autism joke. - TFox Aug 30, 18:58 2
        
        I feel quite confident that you would not love RH. - Facto Aug 30, 19:04

  - Dude, see a therapist. It'll help. (nm) - David Aug 30, 18:47 5
    - I don't see how picking on TFox helps anything. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 18:48 4
      - He went to Vanderbilt. He needs the help. -- nm - David Aug 30, 18:49 3

        A couple hours on the couch every Saturday in the fall, weeping some, babbling about my feelings... - TFox Aug 30, 18:50 1

There's an irony in one of the defining characteristics of that disorder being impaired social interaction. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 18:38 1
- This basically mirrors the sentiments in my post to Razorhawk. - Facto Aug 30, 18:43
