May 15, 2012 - We could only be offended if we were pussies. I think that I actually appreciated this joke more seeing as I can easily relate to it... You do know that we understand this kind of humor perfectly fine right?

Zeebedee101 Says:

May 15, 2012 - Replace the first 'could' with 'would'. That would make far more sense.

Cdubzhappy Says:

May 15, 2012 - autism is a spectrum disorder, so that's not necessarily true.

TheChelseyGrin Says:

May 15, 2012 - Autism isn't the same experience for everyone, but even high functioning autistic folk have those urges. I have friends and family on both ends of the spectrum, these are defining characteristics of autism. You wont see it as much in those who are high functioning but if you ask them they'd tell you they have trouble understanding sarcasm and certain emotional cues, they hate loud noises and crowded places, they love routine and order, and they tend to fall into obsessive patterns and hobbies.

May 26, 2012 - Holy crud, after all the seeing all the people on the internet use this as their favourite new insult for people they find ugly or like things they don't like, even satire sites picking up on it. I didn't expect to see such an... shockingly accurate portrayal of Autism. And made for actually funny satire instead of "haha, he's an adult man with a neckbeard who still collects Transformers toys".
