Identity Politics Run Amok: Autism is a culture?

[Madame_CJSkywalker]

what is the big deal? not trolling

there is no cure for autism

and it's a big part of one's identity

can see this as being empowering

 

[Go figure]

U cant tell me had they found a cure this girl would not be first in line to get it n get rid of her autism completely.

This shit reads as someone who is trying to accept what their life is. Instead of it weighing them down turn it into empowerment.

But its a dangerous, slippery slope.

Soon enough pedos and sex offenders are gonna be typing up bullshit like this.

It's becoming a snowflake society. Everybody whose abnormal wants their abnormality to be accepted even at the detriment to society and even themselves.

I heard Ben Shapiro or somebody say something interesting. He said what if we just affirmed what schizophrenics thought? That instead of telling people that they are hearing voices, we just tell them the voices they hear are real.

What would happen? What kind of quality of life is that to give someone?

That's the kind of thing we have here with these illnesses now. People are wrapping themselves in the autism flag and denouncing possible cures long before one is even developed because they want their illness to be politically viable.

it's only a part of your identity if you're forced to make it such. One of my cousins has a son with Asperger's. He has no idea that he has it because he's never been told. He's had IEP's all of his life but his mother never let him be a part of them because she didn't want him to ever think he was different from other kids.

Autism and gender dysphoria are just the beginning.

If we start telling people their mental and medical problems are valid and no cause for concern we create some dangerous ideas.

*We tell anorexics that its okay to be anorexic.

*We let people with body dymorphoria chop off perfect healthy limbs because they think something is wrong with

*We let people who have phantom pain believe their pain is real

*We let people with PTSD think their thoughts are normal.

*We let people with bipolar disorder act however they want because theres nothing wrong with them

There's no such thing as mental problems, we're all just "special" and "different" despite the fact that mental illness is highly correlated with violence, criminal behavior and suicide.

Go figure, Jono n koncept are making to much gottdamn sense already....

Wish we had an open air forum live broadcasted with strictly intelligent folks dismissing bullshit like displayed in the opening post...24 hour stream.

Better yet, just have samual Jackson get in his pulp fiction persona and read the arguments of said intellectuals out loud lol.

Who would visit an autistic city?

Like chinatown but with a bunch of @preach2teach niggas.

 

[TheGOAT]

I dont believe in "autism"

Fake news

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

What can you do?

 

[Tymoney19]

As someone who worked with autistic children once this is fucking hilarious.

 

[blackgod813]

I think i have autism but i cant be sure

 

[Copper]

I think i have autism but i cant be sure

Im not sure either

But I know the person who gave you those raggedy ass tattoos definitely is.

 

[Turfaholic]

There is a autism culture

 

[mryounggun]

As a person who is very close to a child with autism, I 100% get where this person is going and what they are trying to say. But..

..nah.

 

[AggieLean.]

Smh.

Down the slope we continue to go, but with so many apathetic or “I don’t care” individuals out here, I see us continuing down that slope.

i have a cousin with it as well and it's noticeable. it has impacted the way he socializes...he cannot simply assimilate ...and fact is ppl with autism are different and their mind works differently than the average individual ....so for them this can be an empowering message

he is getting better after working with trained specialist ... had his mother tried to just ignore it or shelter him from his reality positive he'd be be doing much worst

I challenge you to a fist fight for besmirching me in this manner!

Thinking about changing my posting style to a William Regal rip off.

You silly little bugger.

 

[konceptjones]

There is a autism culture

maybe for the parents of autistic children, but not for the children/adults afflicted themselves.

what? autism is not body dymorphoria linked to any violent or criminal behavior

it refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication

they can't just take a pill or join a support group and they are all good....for many it's a life long struggle

and this is about embracing one's self despite the challenges and stigma that we associate with ppl with autism opposed to trying to conform and deny yourself the support you may need

considering she isn't advocating for violence or demeaning any one group or thing, she should be free to express her opinion, same as you....like with any other idea a winner will emerge from the competition of ideas in public discourse

this argument her thinking is dangerous is actually the real danger
