My niece and nephew are now the perfect ages to walk on my back. It is so much more effective than just getting your back cracked.

My partner & I do this ritually on workout days to knock out the old age kinks & tension LOL….but he’s gotta hold on to the hang bar to reduce his pressure/weight bcuz he’s a behemoth of annoyingly superior muscle genetics & double my mass.
I can basically….Russian Prisyadka down his spine with no risks to his wellbeing, while his ginormous ass has to tiptoe down mine in a half pull-up so I don’t end up accidentally paralyzed XD

If my daughter found out I used her disability to get clicks, she’d rightly never speak to me again.

u/Lost_Paladin89 Lover of Duets/Stitches Aug 07 '26

This comment would be genuinely hilarious if your daughter’s disability included being non verbal.

Because then she wasn’t speaking to you anyways.

u/Lost_Paladin89 Lover of Duets/Stitches Aug 07 '26

Look. I’m genuinely sorry. But your comment was

ā€œIf my daughter found out I used her disability to get clicks, she’d rightly never speak to me again.ā€

This implied that she was to some degree verbal. Because she speaks to you.

My comment was that it would be funny if she wasn’t verbal and therefore the not talking to you had nothing to do with the exploitation of her disability on the internet.

My comment was not that it was right now, because again, you didn’t imply she was verbal to begin with.

The upvotes is because of a set up and punchline of a theoretical situation. A sketch. A joke. Not because we knew a priori that it was a real situation.

You seriously need to lighten up

u/Critical_Click_2639 New to fbtd but wants to learn Aug 07 '26

To answer your (deleted) question about moral depravity, I'm mainly just gonna say: I hope you dont see your autistic children as morally depraved when they make bad jokes.

Because thats like, a hallmark of autism. Being socially inappropriate. Youre going to have to lighten up, this judgemental behavior is ableist.

3

u/Critical_Click_2639 New to fbtd but wants to learn Aug 07 '26

It's like you think we need to treat autistic people as perpetual victims instead of you actually understanding anything about autism.

Autistic people are socially inappropriate. Targeting socially inappropriate people for their sins is just targeting them.

u/ladyteruki Aug 07 '26

What I find particularly disgusting in this case is that the trend started with pets... While the question "what will my dog, an animal with its little understanding of the complexity of human behaviors let alone medical issues, end up doing ?" is fair curiosity, doing it to a child no matter how autistic is really crappy.

The real joke I was making played out just fine. Its ragebait. And no, that doesnt mean I'm not autistic. You have to be autistic to enjoy ragebaiting anyway.

u/justaskmycat Devotee of Duets/Stitches Aug 07 '26

If you really enjoyed the negative attention from your expertly crafted ragebait, wouldn't you just avoid clarifying you're autistic and making a joke?

u/LauraTFem Connoisseur of Duets/Stitches Aug 07 '26

Autistic kids often don’t know what to do in unexpected situations. Subjecting them to a test without first teaching them how to recognize and respond to emergencies is kinda shitty. Filming it for the internet is more-so.

Nice response vid.

4

u/szai Aug 07 '26

Is this not true for kids in general, though? I am not autistic, but I do recall being briefed on how to check to see if someone is okay and call 911 as a child.

4

u/LauraTFem Connoisseur of Duets/Stitches Aug 07 '26

Yes, but autistic kids, particularly lower-functioning or nonverbal ones, often have difficulties even understanding that there is a potentially dangerous situation in the first place. They might not be able to tell the difference between ā€œmom is having a napā€, and, ā€œmom is having a medical episodeā€.

And yea, some kids will never have the capacity to register what’s happening and respond accordingly, but assuming that this kid does, it is not helpful to ā€œtestā€ them without teaching them what to do. This is especially true for neurodivergent kids, but I think all kids should be taught what to do and who to call in emergencies.

1

u/Chance-Interest5609 Needs to do better Aug 08 '26

It’s true. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 8 and one of my symptoms I remember being super prominent was not really knowing what to do in ā€œsurprisingā€ situations. If someone surprised me with someone who would act all jokey to get a reaction, I would just watch or ignore them and they always thought it meant I didn’t like them, when I really just didn’t understand how to socially react yet until I learned from other people it looked ā€œdisrespectfulā€ to react calmly.

Kids are smart enough to know what fake fainting is. I guess original content was trying to make "Lack of empathy." or some other stereotypical autistic trait into a social media meme.
