She's rejecting a very large amount of the population.

A disabled person is anyone who has a physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental impairment or some combination of these.

Which accounts for a hell of a lot of people.

Well, it's kind of a good thing she wouldn't date you. I mean, really, would you want to go out with such a sorry excuse for a person? Not me.


I'm not sure how OldFashioned would feel about it, but that's a really good way of looking at it! :)

Wow, very enfuriating. Someone said this to me on Facebook when a group posted something about Autism, and that it was supposed to be funny. I commented "I don't geddit!" because frankly, it didn't make sense.

Anyways, has anyone else been told that they don't know what autism is when in fact you have it?? It makes me very very angry! :x


Curesous what did they post about autism?
