Now THIS is shocking!

Check out this post from a Deviantart user called Stage-Burner;

AUTISM MUST BE CURED!

And I'm not regretting for dare to speak out the truth!
Autism is a serious disorder that will corrupt your mind everyday. It make you a power-hungry absurd, opinion disrespector, cyberbully, retarded who bash opinions on everything you ever knew! Autism is an evil disease and autistic people are evil too, for using autism as an excuse for their immaturity! Autism is the main cause of problems outside society like mass shootings, SJW, terrorism,... and autistic people are more likely to be dragged into gangsta's lifestyle too! Autism is an evil disease AND MUST BE CURED!!!

Hate speech, anyone?

Speaking as an autistic person, I can tell you this woman is talking out of her rear.

Here's my deconstruction of her claims;

OK, it's time to unpack this, Stage-Burner.

Firstly, you claim that ' Autism is a serious disorder that will corrupt your mind everyday ' and then that ' Autism is an evil disease'. Apart from the fact you are resorting to describing things as evil, which never helps you in a scholarly context, a disease and a disorder are two completely different things.

A disease is defined by the Collins English dictionary as ' an illness which affects people, animals, or plants, for example one which is caused by bacteria or infection', whereas a disorder is defined as ' a problem or illness which affects someone's mind or body.' Two completely different things. A disorder like ASD is caused during development when the fetus is still in the womb.

You go on to claim that 'it make you a power-hungry absurd, opinion disrespector, cyberbully, retarded who bash opinions on everything you ever knew!' I don't know your nationality, so I have no idea if you are using 'retarded' as an insult or in the medical sense as they do in the USA, but where is your evidence? If anything, people with disabilities have gone on to make the world a better place. Obvious examples that come to mind are Thomas Edison (dyslexia, inventor of the lightbulb and the phonograph) and Hans Christian Andersen (ASD, author of beloved stories such as The Little Mermaid and The Ic Queen). People with disabilities are no more likely to exhibit those tendencies than those who don't have disabilities.

'Autistic people are evil too, for using autism as an excuse for their immaturity'. This claim has no evidence. Some autistic people I know are actually far more mature than their peers. There's a difference between being immature and unable to cope with a social situation, you know.

'Autism is the main cause of problems outside society like mass shootings, SJW, terrorism,... and autistic people are more likely to be dragged into gangsta's lifestyle too!'

Again, where is your evidence? People with disabilities are no more likely to do these things than those who aren't. And before you play the 'mass shooters are all mentally ill' card, the Las Vegas shooter has no medical issues of this sort.

In short, speaking as an autistic person, this is nothing more than a mess of poppycock and absurd nonsense. I would ask that you provide evicence for your arguments before saying anything else like this.

i agree to an extent. Autism is not something people willingly 'accept' as a part of them. no one wants it ,but it's not our choice ,it is the choice of god .how do we stop something that god wanted. unless you have a direct phone channel to god i doubt you can talk god out of creating people with this condition.

i agree about the autism should be removed part .i do wish autism to be eradicated but by the way she speaks ,she doesn't want to remove autism in a friendly manner.

god please guide the blind and protect the weak

even though i do not know her or have any relationship with her ,i would like to apologise to you my friend on her behalf

another beautiful day on the internet with fascinating people with unique 'perspectives' on society

I had no choice in the fact I have ASD, and in a perfect world it wouldn't exist, but we have to accept it exists and those who have it, use it to their advantage.

In my case, it improves my memory and retention skills, not to mention my attention span.

we become the people we are destined by the breaking points of our lives .what we do in our lowest moment determines how high the peek of our life will be

a problem is only a problem if you let it drag you down or you let it fester for to long .

well done brother

when god closes 1 door ,he opens 10 more

Always know it could be worse.

[draph91]

5126133
I really hope you reported it

[The Blue EM2]

5126139
It already has been. Jimmy (who's also on the spectrum) drew my attention to it.

[DaveMan1000]

As someone on the Autism spectrum myself, I should be appalled by such insults. But in all honesty, I'm actually quite amused, as this is one of the biggest cases of bullshit propaganda I've ever seen, and the fact that the user is "proud" to have proclaimed it just goes to show how fill of shit she is.

[TheShadowKnight]

I have autism, and I am completely offended by this speech

[The Blue EM2]

5126153
You're not the only one.

[The Blue EM2]

5126151
Indeed. What she says is rubbish, and I say she needs a good washout.

Have any boiler sludge on you?

[GivingSpider]

On one hand, I'm very upset by this post.
On the other hand, I'm stunned by the presentation of it.

This person very literally emulates the 'screeching autistic' stereotype for the duration of the rant. I can't tell if this person is being serious or trying to be ironic and cringy.

[Edguy0009]

That is wrong in so many ways and offensive.

[The Blue EM2]

5126162
It could be trolling.

[The Blue EM2]

5126168
Couldn't have said it better.

[Edguy0009]

5126170
Feed her to the Sharkticons.

[The Blue EM2]

5126172
Nah, worse. Tartarus.

[Edguy0009]

5126173
But which is more..... entertaining of the two.

[The Blue EM2]

5126178
Both. And render them unable to die.

[The Blue EM2]

5126216
Well said.

[The Blue EM2]

5126251
No probs.

[wingdingaling]

Speaking as a guy whose best friend of the last twelve years is autistic, I have to say this post is pretty damn offensive.

[The Blue EM2]

5126290
I completely agree.

[The Blue EM2]

5126332
People like this should be shown how silly they are.

[The Blue EM2]

5126336
Indeed.

[Edguy0009]

5126181
Or when could put her in a inescapable building filled with a certain citrus fruit.

[The Blue EM2]

5126338
They must fall.

[The Blue EM2]

5126339
Which fruit?

[The Blue EM2]

5126343
Oh yes. Cave Johnson's combustible lemons.

[Edguy0009]

5126341
Orange.

[The Blue EM2]

5126348
Hmmm. Combustible lemons.

[The Blue EM2]

5126359
OK.

[The Blue EM2]

5126372
Yes.

[The Blue EM2]

5126374
Ow.

[The Blue EM2]

5126393
Yes they do.

[The Blue EM2]

5126398
Yeah.

[The Blue EM2]

5126413
Ok.

[The Blue EM2]

5126424
Yuup.

[The Blue EM2]

5126444
Night.

[wingdingaling]

Right. So, I showed this to my friend. I'm going to let him take it away and respond to this:

Autism does not make you disrespect opinions. Pig-headed arrogance does.
Autism does not make you a cyber-bully. Being unsocial does.
Autism does not make you power-hungry. Greed, narcissism and inferiority complexes do.
Autism not a disease. It's a mental disorder.
Autism is not an excuse for immaturity. Immaturity is caused by developmental delays in a person's life.
Autism is not the cause of mass shootings. Nobody really knows why they happen.
Autism is not the cause of SJW's. Misinformation and extreme political beliefs are.
Autism is not the cause of terrorism. Extremist and radical political and religious beliefs are.
Autism is not that cause of 'gangsta' lifestyle. Poverty and abuse are.
Autism cannot be cured. It can only be intervened and put in a positive direction.
Most of all: autism is not evil. You are, Stage_Burner.

Wow.

[The Blue EM2]

5127874
This poster is mercifully gone/

[The Blue EM2]

5127877
Indeed.

[The Blue EM2]

5127882
And gone they are.

[The Blue EM2]

5127948
Yeah!

[The Blue EM2]

5127951
LOL.
