is autistic about earning internet points
You may not realize it, but language like this is not only grammatically incorrect (you can't be autistic about something), but could be pretty offensive to people who are either autistic or have a friend or family member who is.
Why use a neural development disorder as a derogatory term?
- wtbob 13y ago> Why use a neural development disorder as a derogatory term? Because it's derogatory to accuse someone of disordered neural development.
- sergiotapia 13y agoThen those people can be offended, it's their right, no? I have a cousin who is retarded but I don't wince every time someone says or writes the word. I didn't say autistic as an insult to those people but as a way to colorfully describe behaviour that is typical of people with autism.
