Autistic people are not illegal, but we don't pass special snowflake laws for them just because they are socially awkward. Pay for your own therapies, or hide in the basement.

@alimcs

If that's what you have to say, don't say it. It's pretty rude and ignorant.

You asked a question in an open forum, you don't get to control the answers you receive, prick. The basement is the right place for you.

@fickleshade

Wow. This is probably the most disgusting thing I've seen on reddit. I hope insurance covers your therapies so that whatever is hurting you so badly can be resolved and you can be ready to come out of the basement.

FYI, autists can have hundreds of dollars in medical bills per month, even after insurance, and they go to those therapies because the world is speckled with cancerous attitudes like yours, and they need help coping in a world that has more tolerance for your closed-minded abuse than for a diverse brain.

Please know that whatever you think of autists is a reflection of your own self, and not a statement of any truth about others.

All of the autistic people I grew up with got NO THERAPY and NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. When I was a kid, they were just called "retarded" as if that was ok to label another human. I never treated anyone poorly because of their developmental disabilities. They are people, just a little different, but still people. That being said, OP is a fucking leech. A human parasite. Looking for handouts because it's just easier to make society pay for your issues, it's their fault for not being understanding of your condition. I will always advocate for people to get the fuck off of Reddit and find a way to pay for their own shit. There are people in greater need, who can't even afford to surf the fucking internet, and those public funds should be reserved for those folks in greatest need. Socially awkward weirdo is not a fucking prognosis worth throwing money at...

Gotta love your virtue signaling though, you are a super awesome person with super great ideas... and you're totally going to change the world by whining on Reddit to strangers.

@fickleshade

The real issue here is your complete ignorance of what autism even is. And I'm not virtue signaling--this is a daily issue in my life. I'm legitimately upset by your ignorance and ableism.

Oh, I get it, you're in the spectrum yourself. Grow the fuck up kid, it's a tough world out there for NTs too. You can't take offense anytime someone won't kiss your ass because you are special. There are people with deeper problems that are more difficult to overcome out there who are making their best go at it and we will never hear them bitching and complaining because they are too busy getting it done.

Ableism is a word that fucking cowards and weaklings use to shame people who have any success in life despite opposition.

@fickleshade

I'm 33. My husband and I make plenty of money. Nobody's asking for special laws, just wondering where insurance will cover what's needed and where it won't. ADULTS plan ahead for expenses like that. I don't want my ass kissed. I want you to learn about disabilities and stop being incredibly rude on the internet on subjects you're very ignorant about. Also, you're literally bitching and complaining on this person's post. I'm pretty sure the coward is the one hiding behind a keyboard and yelling at someone asking simple questions about laws, services, and the general mien of an area.

Go get something done, like learning a bit about autism, or maybe just practice being kind.

I know enough about autism to know that YOU exemplify the worst kind of person in the spectrum. Selfish, bitter, and high functioning enough to cast judgement on others, but soooooooooooooooooo fucking disabled that everyone needs to provide for your well being, just because. You totally do want your ass kissed, it's pathetic. I'm not a bad person, I don't do bad things to people and you honestly have no clue what kind of husband and father I might be. I just have no problem telling anyone who's got enough going for them that they can hang out on Reddit, that they have enough and don't deserve a handout from the rest of society.
