Imagine being this hateful

Sorry for the vent, but I saw this on reddit and got so angry that I had to share.

This person acts like all autistic people are the same and that's it's the absolute worst thing that can happen to a parent. Have you forgotten the SPECTRUM part? Not every autistic person will need lifelong care.

People like that choose to have no self-awareness. I guess he thinks he's a delight to deal with.

He also seems to be very confused when he says "potentially abusive." A lot of the physical aggression is just people trying to communicate, not being understood, and not understanding any other way to deal with their frustration. It sucks, but it's understandable.

My problem with NTs like this guy is that, because there is no other kind of human or species to outnumber them, they think their view is some kind of universal ideal. He talks about lacking empathy (because an autistic person should always be there to serve other people, right??), yet can't put himself in the mind of the autistic person. If aliens came here tomorrow these people would have to start looking a little harder at all the privilege and beliefs they take for granted. Sometimes NTs feel like they're just very capable children, which I hate to say because it sounds like an insult to children.

wow


how many downvotes did you crop out?

This Redditor put me in mind of a piece of writing by Dietrich Bonhoeffer entitled "On Stupidity"

It seems as though this individual has confused the extremely low functioning end of the spectrum with the ENTIRE spectrum.

They just need to do a bit of reading.

ultimately, their opinion is meaningless and not worth worrying about. so yeah.

It sounds like they don't like kids in general. Like where they said "parents can hope to get their lives back eventually"? If this person thinks 1)Your life ends when you have children and 2) You cease being a parent at some point (like, you're just going to become adult acquaintances or something) they are seriously misguided. I really really hope this person doesn't currently have children because it sounds like they will be miserable and by extension make their children miserable.

Ugh, Reddit is often so extremely ignorant about autism, but they act like they are experts about it. They do that with a lot of topics, actually.

Autistic people should just stay away from Reddit. It's nothing but a giant petri dish that the internet uses to breed hatred and stupidity.

I can't stand reddit. Maybe you should just stop participating there.

Funny, when this person has almost no empathy at all

Like watching an Overwatch match, and someone is being bad, and a jerk yells at them to stop being a moron and autistic. Well, if he was autistic, he would probably be kicking your a*s because almost every person on the spectrum I know is highly intelligent, and a great gamer. They are also polite and good teammates.

People are ignorant, and Reddit is full of ignorant wise-ass people.

Let's hope for the child, that this person never get's any children because this person seems like a mentally abusive person.
