"Chasing Classic Cars"' Wayne Carini has restored vehicles which he has auctioned to raise funds for the charity Autism Speaks. His daughter is on the spectrum. He loves her.

So what's your excuse, Mikey-boy...?!

There is no autism epidemic. Autism is also no terminal illness or even an illness at all! And that title… Damn. No one is saying that having non-neurotypical children is always easy, but wishing them to have cancer? Fuck. That’s despicable.

DIAF! autism is not a fate worse than death/cancer you narcissistic swine!.

I've noticed that the whole "autism is worse than death thing" isn't even about the alleged suffering of the child but rather the parent's.
I've seen countless "autism parents" whine Six ways to Sunday about how having an austisic child is sooo hard and how autism is worse than death but they never mention(or even care) how the autistic child may feel.

Think about it. If their child has autism they have to deal with the "inconvience" of an autistic child for a lifetime(meltdowns, sensory issues, behavioral problems, etc especially if the child is lower functioning). Not to mention they may think that people look down on them for having such a child(what would the neighbors think?)

Whereas if their child gets cancer or another terminal illness , they would only get to deal with an "inconvience" for a short time, plus they get showered with sympathy and maybe even get a tidy sum in insurance money.

In other words a dead child is far less "work" to them than an autistic one.

Fuck you. I have friends who have autism and they are great. To wish cancer over autism is sociopathy

It seems that while certain people(especially Fundies and Narc parents like this asswipe) have no love for disabled kids in general, they have a special hatred for autistic kids...

You’d rather your kids die than be autistic? Yeah, sure, your bad situation is your kids’ fault.

It could be: cancer is treatable. It's still fucked up.

He may want to find a different charity. I understand Autism Speaks (which, despite the name, was long run only by allistics) still sees autism as a malady.

What? All I said was I wished my kids had cancer. Why is everyone acting like *I'm* the asshole here, huh!?

ETA: just loaded the image of the book cover. Glob damn, that sickening title with that pic of those sweet little kiddos. It's truly disgusting.

@Skyknight

I'm only going by what I watch on that TV series. You'll have to take that up with Wayne.

I have no words but these:
You are an abysmal person and a disgrace to fathers everywhere!

Another parent who makes their child’s autism all about them and what they go through.
Yes, meltdowns are tough for parents to get through but guess what, they’re tough for kids to get through and they get even tougher to live with as you get older (as the shame and fear grows with age). And that’s before you even get to burnouts of varying degrees of severity.
Yes, you might hate having to stick to routines like Gorilla Glue but doing so can be a huge relief for someone on the spectrum.

Disgusting. This is the kind of rhetoric which ends by justifying murder of authstic children.

And while cancer can kill, autism doesn’t.

Ahh, it's the Father's Day special. *runs to sink*

This is so disgusting. I really hope this guy's kids disown him.

Why do you people do this? Do you seriously think that your child will never find out?

This makes me so sad and angry.

Munchausen's much?

I can actually see why this book is titled so. He’s gone for shock value with the title. I don’t doubt someone in desperation would say “I wish my kids were dead”, even if they immediately regretted saying that. Still, the ‘shock value’ he’s gone for is in such appallingly bad taste (not only to people with autism and their families but especially to those who’ve got, or lost loved ones to, cancer) that I have no hesitation in WTF-ing this.

Honestly, "Autism Parents™️" are some of the most narcissistic, self-absorbed whiny people I have ever met. And that is saying a whole lot.

Welcome to my shit list.

There is no escape. It is not my place to forgive, nor my concern if you should ever find forgiveness.

My one desire is for those who know hardship to find happiness at the end of their trials.

These are the same kind of people who would want to kill down syndrome people.

Oh, so you would rather your kids were dead? Well, I’m not the Grim Reaper, but lemme sign those adoption papers…
