Can everyone please stop using "autistic" as an insult and derogatory term on the forums? As someone who has grown up with an autistic brother (real diagnosis), I really take offense to this. My brother is a wonderful person and I hate seeing autism used as an insult.
Edit: I expect trolls. Go ahead and call me autistic. All it does is make our community look like a bunch of insensitive jackasses.
Edit 2: Thank you to all of the people that have genuinely added to the discussion and given me some insight. While I may disagree with you, if you aren't offended by it then that's fine. I don't expect this thread to make much change, but I am hoping that some people stop and consider what I am saying.
Edit 3: I know it's the internet. Just stop using it. It makes you look like a dumbass when you use it as a serious insult. Calling me autistic doesn't even offend me personally and honestly, saying it as satire doesn't bother me. Is that really the best thing you can come up with, Flood?
Edit 4: I've gotten another wave of you're autistic responses. You people are -blam!-ing sheep. People keep saying that it's just the internet so who cares? This is part of why the internet stays like this. Because people become so insensitive and confident when they are behind a screen that they'll just throw any insult around and not give a shit who it hurts. It's truly sad. No one says anything about this kind of stuff most of the time and the ones who do get torn down by the rest of the soulless internet crowd. This is why shit never changes. Because the people doing this shit have no fear of getting backlash since everyone else just starts doing it too or they get some strange satisfaction out of being douchebags. Just wow.
Edit 5: At this point, this post exists solely to test how dumb the Flood can really be. Keep it coming, guys. But please be more creative with your insults. OP is autistic seems to be the favorite. Why do you people want to do the same thing that everyone else does? Dirty conformists.
Let's just throw gay, retarded, etc in with this as shitty insults.
Ugh, trying to say anything reasonable to the Flood is like repeatedly slamming your head against a brick wall.

My Best friend is autistic, but his I.Q is higher than mine. Why you ask? There are different parts/levels of the autistic pyramid. He has a low E.Q,but a high I.Q. He doesn't take being autistic as an insult. I didn't know he was until he told me.

I always thought it was a poor choice for an insult, never used it myself.

I'm on the autistic spectrum with an official diagnosis and I find the use of 'autistic' as an insult hilarious when used in juuuust the right way.

Edytowany przez użytkownika aero198: 8/7/2015 6:01:31 PMUnfortunately, I am an insensitive asshole. My care for others opinions and feelings over the internet is non-existent. I will probably use the autistic/retarded/gay/ect. derogatory terms for a long time into the future simply because I don't care what others think. That being said I understand that these things are unfortunate and oftentimes not a choice (except being homosexual, that shit's a choice) and even have people in my family that are afflicted with them. I care about them very much but honestly, it just proves why the terms are used. If you aren't autistic and you act like one, I'm going to say so. If you are, then you probably shouldn't be playing online games let alone being on a forum. Now get over it.
