It's so tragic, that psychology idiots no longer categorize autism to subgroups or AT LEAST as aspergers and autism.
I get, that there are some autists, who don't speak, and others, who will never leave childhood, so why do these idiots not crate a separate groups?
I was reading an internet discussion about an incident, where autistic 16YO did a thing, and people don't know, if they should expect him to be mental 5yo, or a normal kid who doesn't like eye contact.
@eris
Yes, and that is my point.
Right now, psychologists don't even use the "high funcioning" term. And asperger was quite a good solution.
@eris
For the example, people are saying repeatedly, that a 16yo with autism should not attend a public event.
Well, fuck me, but I get quite triggered, when these people think, that my slight dislike for eye contact, or increased interest in systematic thinking means I should always be guarded by a parent.
@LukeAlmighty @eris i mean, that’s an issue with those people making the assumption, not the people who dislike functioning labels
any autistic 16 year old should be able to go to whatever public event they want, regardless of how “high functioning” (in this case just meaning normal-passing) they are
@dangerdyke @eris
Fuck "normal passing". What kind of a retarded phrase is that?
I am not normal by any means, and I don't care to be. I am autistic with pride. Same as I am a male and proud.
To try to pass as something else would be retarded.
