I think they’re making GBS threads on the cretin who produced that ‘comic’ actually. Which is perfectly okay.

I thought it was interesting and informative. But I guess since it's kind of long and has a lot of words, the creator must be a super autismo turbosperg who needs a wedgie, right?

Like seriously, it's pretty loving pathetic that the comic says "I'm autistic, here's a way to think about autism" and y'all are all "LOL he's so autistic!" The height of comedy here :bravo:

yeah if anyone has any right to poo poo on people on the spectrum, it would be other people on the spectrum, not some non-spectrum peeps

There’s a difference between attacking a person for being autistic and attacking a comic for sucking poo poo. hope this helps!

Calling something or someone autistic as an insult is lovely no matter what. Might as well call them gay or retarded.

It’s a slippery slope, I tell ya. First we stop using gay as an insult, then autistic, and pretty soon there won’t be a minority group left that we’re allowed to insult people by comparing them to!

We’ll always have “basic,” because white people in aggregate will always be garbage. Individually too, most of the time.

As I said earlier if you want to talk about the venn diagram of people who are radicalized, 'autistic' wouldn't be in the top twenty. The fact that radicalization happens through nerd poo poo doesn't really matter towards that.

Yeah nothing in that article even mentions autism. It's just the same lazy rear end poo poo of "sonic fan = autistic". Get some better loving jokes.

Like I give a fuck.
As a guy with a son who has autism with very specific language issues and is seemingly high functioning otherwise, it does a pretty decent job as a "starter" lesson. Not something I'd brag about hating for sure.

I'm docking everyone points for not going after the one poster that hates white people for using "basic" as a slur, when its root as a gendered insult could have been weaponized to assert that they hate women.

I mean, come on. Step up your internet twerp brinksmanship game.

Except that imbecile and moron used to be actual medical terms that got appropriated the same way retard did.

There's even a phrase for it! It's "euphemism treadmill."

I'm disappointed the spectrum comic doesn't include a category for "obsessing over hyper specific stuff" because I thought it was one of the landmark of the spectrum

Also he wrote "savent"

But nobody has used those words clinically for centuries. As far as I'm aware, nobody is asking people not to use them, because they're so far gone from our collective memory. Besides, those were just two words off the top of my head. There are plenty of others!

The Biblical Nimrod was a king and a great hunter. The only reason it's an insult is because Bugs Bunny used it to describe Elmer Fudd in a slightly less than sincere manner.

Also, adding 'Rod' to the end of anything makes it sound silly. Bigrod. Kingrod. Herorod. You just can't be taken seriously if you're a rod. With one exception.
