This kind of stupidity needs to end. I made a Facebook page entitled "I Have Autism" for people on the autism spectrum to post about their normal everyday lives so people can see that we are not like Adam Lanza. I would appreciate it if you all would contribute your stories to the page.

I've had it up to here with the autism persecution. The boy getting attacked at Walmart is bad enough but this ranks as the worst case so far that I've heard of. I say don't let him get away with it. Anyone who takes his side against someone who's in a wheelchair is a complete idiot.


Call! A crime has been committed!

Gas stations do have security camera footage. I know you're nervous about going back but I say see if you can get the footage and get it to the media. People need to know about this horrific and ridiculous incident you've been put through. You might have a hate crime case here.

I was one block away from that gas station and one block away from my home. I was out of view of the gas station cameras and out of view of the cameras that is on my apt building. I was on the side walk on the side of the city school board office building. I do not know if they have security camera on the side of that building or not. I do know they have them in the parking lot of that building but I be out of view from them. on the other side of the street is the post office parking lot. I know that the post office has security cameras But maybe not in the parking lot.

I will still go back to that gas station. I will not let this stop me. I have gone that way for the last 5 years and have never seen that man before. So maybe I will never see him after today.

The wind was blowing bad today so maybe he was just blowing by. The wind can blow in some bad stuff some times.. :)

That's what pisses me off. The fact that this CT shooter was said to have AS and the media jumped on it like vultures really just... ugh. It feeds into the ignorance of people that literally think that a person with Autism is going to go out there and kill someone because of their condition. -_-

I can't believe people are believing that the AS is what caused him to kill a bunch of little kids... that's all we need is more ignorant people accusing us of being horrible people. It makes me really scared that someone might say that to me.

iSpy, did you get the name of the gas attendant, the date and time this was done? If so, you should file a complaint to the company or maybe even the Better Business Bureau. That way, your pain will not be without fight, and it will make you feel better about yourself for trying to fight back in a way you know that you can!

Hi, I'm very sorry that this happened to you and that this guy is such an idiot.

If you choose to report it to the police, and it is your choice, perhaps be a little like a politician and strategically understate your case. This way, police may then argue with you and say, no, no, it does sound serious. And this dynamic may play more positively. And if the police take it the next investigative step or two, they're doing it because they want to and not just going through the motions. And most of all, you want the police to watch out in the neighborhood on your behalf.

For example, you might write something like: 'I think the guy was looking for someone to cuss out and blow off steam. But I want to give you a heads up in case he continues to be a problem.'

And having an advocate present with you also helps get positive dynamics going, it shows strength on your part, the police officer is likely to be on his or her best behavior, take it more seriously, etc. In his book You Can Negotiate Anything, the author Herb Cohen said it was precisely good negotiation for a president or governor or mayor to get someone else to negotiate on his or her behalf.

And if it feels right, you may want to talk with your apartment people or the gas station manager to also give them a heads up.

This is absolutely f*****g disgraceful. :evil:

I have had more than enough of these biggoted NTs who persecute us for the way we are. They have started Facebook hate campaigns, attacked our children just for the hell of it, spread incessant, putrid lies about usand now ... THIS. This is just to much for me to f*****g handle, how f*****g DARE they wage war against?! f*****g pathetic, worthless sub-human c***s!

Please iSpy, I beg of you, report that twisted animal to the police, the government, anyone who actually gives a f**k about our wellbeing, well, if there is anyone left. DO NOT allow the filthy, worthless, disgusting vermin to win. Do EVERYTHING within your power to make the filthy rat suffer.

I'm sorry, I'm about to explode, Imcannot ficking deal with this anymore.

To me, that almost has a cartoonish quality in that I can't believe that people would behave like that still.


Dave Chappelle actually sums this kind of reaction up in the first forty seconds of this video:

That was exactly my reaction. Like: WTF? Can that even happen? Can ANYONE actually be that much of a total f**kwit? I already have a very cynical view of the human race but this thread just added a large number of points to the cynical-meter.

I think it should be considered a hate crime if someone discriminates against someone who is autistic, disabled, etc. I know the term goes for race and gender but I think it should apply for disability too. I know it's just one bad egg but unfortunately there are many more in this world.

So, SO many more. They're the f*****g diseased ones, not us. I've read some truly appauling things. Some people want a repeat of the holocaust for great, innocent Autistic people. That's how f****d up, worthless and truly horrific some of the verminous human race actually is. It's f*****g sad and totally repulsive and disgusting.
