What about Butters? I can relate to him due to his niavity and innocence and the fact he is easily taken advantage of but I think they over exeggerated it because I don't think anyone be that dumb. I sure never was. I have suspected he could be an aspie.

I have imagined for my fanfiction story. Butters gets diagnosed with it and his parents react to it.

Mother: He has Asperger's?
Father: Butters you're grounded
Butters: Okay dad

That be funny since they are always grounding him for stupid things he can't help. That be perfect for my story I had been working on last year.

If I knew how to write the creaters, I would tell them to make a show about it and perhaps they should look into Autism Speaks and how many autistic people hate them and look into it and then make fun of it. But I bet they would get mad and sue them for it.

I was about to bring up Butters as well. Lol at the conversation

Yeah, it's an insult not to be insulted on south park. It's an honor. The fact that they make fun of everyone is the point of the show. xD

As for Tweak, I don't think he's autistic, but has ADHD and/or an intense anxiety disorder.

I think the joke is that his parents constantly give him coffee, and all the caffeine makes him agitated and 'tweak' like he's on drugs. Poor Tweak XD

I would have said Cartman funnily enough. Not a nice character by any means, but his pure self-centeredness and selfishness reminds me of a few members I've come across here over the years.

There was one kid that was in the special Olympics and special summer camp episodes. In the camp one he was the bad kid ring leader that was
out to get Jimmy. He never looks at anyone I wondered if he is on the spectrum.

i googled 'Southpark Autism' and look what i founded

http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/showthr ... 045&page=1 : THE ASS PIES BE HATIN' ON TIMMEH

Appareantly they are pissed because in one episode, Mr.Garrison calls Timmy 'Autistic', though I cannot remember this, and they all hate this cos 'ZOMG TIMMEH AINT COOL ENUF'

Timmy could have some form of autism but the Southpark website says timmy has Palsy

After reading the first page, it looks like it was only the OP who was pissed and everyone else was telling her Garrison is whatever and SP is offensive.

That's part of it, but when he was first introduced his mother did say that he has ADHD. I believe her exact words were "That's why he's so jittery."

guys, seriously, don't do this. if you guys can't handle it when mr. garrison said timmy was autistic, or this: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PaIic9AWcY[/youtube]

i can't imagine what will happen if sp finally does do it.

I don't think South Park has to do anything on aspies. They already have Butters, and we all know he's one. But nobody else needs to know. It's a private joke, just for us. I thought none of us liked too much attention, but I guess it's just me.
