I am an adult on the spectrum and using autism as an insult greatly disturbs me. Mostly because we seem to be moving backwards as a society in terms of accepting what we don't understand. However growing up my parents often used the phrase "you can't fix stupid" I do believe you CAN fix ignorance though. I mostly try to determine whether someone is ignorant or just plain stupid or malicious. If they're ignorant I will try to inform them if not they can rot in hell for all I care. I'm only making this post because some people here seem to get it and I would like to extend an invitation to my Xbox club Guardians of the Spectrum. We are a club for people with autism and their families to interact in a safe environment. Come check is out.
