If being an a**hole is a disease, then the person who made that poster is severely diseased.

The poster doesn't bother me one bit. It's supposed to be offensive. It's a demotivation poster, people. That's what they DO.

I don't understand how the picture relates to the words?

I suppose the boy looks like he's brushing the "speaker" off. To me, he looks like he's enjoying hanging out in the field and is stimming. :roll:

I was also wondering, "why that picture?" And, I think you're (Jamesongerbil) right.

I'm not 100% unable to read expressions (especially 'stage' expressions), and my guess is the kid is being 'read' as having a "haughty" or "superior" "air" about him. And so, the author feels snubbed, and because of that is labelling the kid an a******.

I agree that the kid just looks like he's stimming and/or feeling out the environment, or imagining something (or smelling something in the air, or who knows what, really).

Actually (and ironically), in that way, that poster is a good example of a certain kind of NT-autistic interaction problem, brought on my NT assumptions/lack-of-knowledge. That is, of people reading things into how you look (or sound) that aren't there (that aren't in your mind). (G-d knows I've had that happen.)

Maybe a modified version of the poster could be made. Something with an additional caption across the middle, with, "I'm not judging you, I just love the smell of pretzels. Geeze." or something.

Then it wouldn't be a demotivation poster.

I get more annoyed at the people offended by the poster.

I am mildly offended by it. Obviously whoever made that is either really ignorant or a total a**hole too.

This.

Not offended.
Demotivationals don't offend me, even when they're about women or white people... both of which I am. Meh. They're not to be taken seriously; people need to calm down.
This is the only Autism-related one I've ever been able to find.
I guess it's not very common for people like me to be around, though. I guess it's either because I'm younger, I'm on the internet often and I visit a wide variety of sites, or both.

Well, actually, I just found an autism hate site ridden with autism demotivationals, but I feel that posting them wouldn't be appropriate.

The boy in that picture doesn't look like an a-hole at all. He looks incredibly happy.

PMin it would probably be prudent.

Type in "autism asperger's demotivational" on Google images. It should be the second one; some Japanese anime girls (hentai) with Asperger's Syndrome/HFA... then something about a difference. Then go to the site that that image was posted on.
I bet it's some pissed off elitist.

Not offensive in the least. I laughed when I saw it for the first time and it made me chuckle when I saw it now.

lol Thanks.

He went as an autistic person for Halloween... God, he's obsessed.
But some people are commenting on his posts like, "MY KID HAS AUTISM YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED."
He's trolling.
These comments only make him want to say more. :lol:
