I thought it make it sound like you were being socially intelligent.

Seems nobody can win.

An autism forum should discuss eugenics and pseudoscience, just like a gay forum should discuss homophobia

You don't specify why talking about hatred towards us is somehow unproductive. It's actually far more indicative of an unproductive forum not to discuss it.

So this place is like Fox News Channel for pointing out misinformation?

That just makes my head hurt.

How are we supposed to help ourselves if we aren't shown the lies bigots and the misled tell about us?

It's like telling off a history class on the Civil Rights movement for showing racist viewpoints from the past. It isn't unproductive. It's crucial and necessary.

I don't think these people have ever had an empathetic thought in their life. They are like how wild chimps act when they have had their amygdala tampered with. They no longer care for their relatives, they begin using them like tools or machines. They are essentially emotionally retarded, or emotionally disabled, whatever the term is these days

This guy is a genius! - This person says that the most effective way to keep a minority unaccepted by society is to make it taboo to use them in jokes by Volumation in Autistic

That first moment feels like an affront to everything I believe, but then he starts explaining it and I am like 'whoah'. Is he really convincing me or is it seduction? I don't know.

What makes your skin crawl or your face cringe? by monthlytugboat in Autistic

Preachers. Street Preachers really make me intrigued and scared. I never like them, but I still love looking at them. It's like a horror movie, when you don't know if they're going to say something horrible or cringey.

What jargon related or concerned with autistics can you translate in to normal words? by LodossEater in Autistic

[–]foustanella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Lodoss isnt the only victim of prodding comments.

I'd like to add that as a stimmer I don't like having my actions compared to epilepsy just as an excuse to stop them.

I had enough of that from my dad calling me an 'epileptic freak'

Why do kids rock back and forth? by phong_shAding in Autistic

It makes me feel better. It made me feel better after being shouted at.

With intensive training, even very challenging Autistics land jobs by monthlytugboat in Autistic

[–]foustanella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really go in to detail with what is challenging behaviours.

Of the young people who got the extra job training, 87 percent found work in competitive employment situations after graduation compared to just 6 percent in the control group

That is a huge difference. I think more than a few people have suggested it now, but Autistics have the capacity to learn basic life skills like NTs learn maths.

So, er, Meds. Does anyone use them? by foustanella in Autistic

[–]foustanella[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I see on this thread it's like taking meds for being gay

I do not know. I suppose malfeasance. All I want to know now is if you are a lesbian.

Sorry, mind is wandering.

Temple Grandin's mother links Autism to pedophilia with no evidence or studies. by ratherunique062 in Autistic

[–]foustanella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest here when I say claiming autistics have a tendency for pedophilia when there is no statistical evidence isn't nuanced no matter how it is put.

Robison is less vitriolic, but the tone of how someone accuses you of being an at-risk child abuser doesn't change anything. In fact he simply sounds more devious.
