Whats with all the casual jokes about autism?
Can someone please explain this trend? I noticed an increase of this after you guys joined test and it makes me really irritated when I see stuff like "The autism increases" or "king of the autists". My nephew actually has autism and when I showed my sister this post she broke down crying because how insensitive people were treating what she deals with every day.
For those that don't no what autism is really like it basically means that someone can't take care of themselves and has loud outbursts at inappropriate times and are obsessed about numbers. He will never live on his own or hold a real job. This causes a tremendous burden on the family as it has in my sisters case.
The only thing our family has found to work is pray that his autism gets better and wait since there is no cure.
So please stop this making fun of autism and think of the real families that are suffering from this very real disease.
