Reilly Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 My first thought was "Oh yes Autistic kids should have more awareness" and my 2nd thought was "Oh fuck Autistic kids would hate having awareness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Please correct me if I'm overstepping etiquette here, but is it just me or is this kind of offensive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Please correct me if I'm overstepping etiquette here, but is it just me or is this kind of offensive: Yeah normally overstepping the etiquette and being offensive involves making a point.

Empily Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Autism happens to share April with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness, National Distracted Driving Month, Mathematics Awareness Month, National Car Care Awareness Month, Jazz Appreciation, and Stress Awareness Month.

The Mad Hatter Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 i don't want to sound offensive but sometimes it sounds like everyone is on the autism spectrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight-radio Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think a lot of people diagnos themselves. I did not, I was diagnosed when I was younger. I still don't take offense to the picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crests Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wait how can you have both aspergers and nld I'm confused And yes I think everyone on the internet pretty much thinks they're autistic it's kinda annoying haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight-radio Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 you can have both, they overlap a lot but there are some chatrecteristics that are specific to one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crests Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 That could also be something like PDD-NOS though. I dunno, I'm intrigued now, though technically NLD isn't considered part of the spectrum so I guess that's why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight-radio Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm not 100% sure. But keep in mind that the diagnostic criteria had changed since I was little. It may very well be considered PDDNOS today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Meh, I'm just a regular old Aspie myself. It shits me when others try to patronise it as meaning you're mentally incompetent and/or have to be talked to like a baby. A fair few 'professionals' have done that to me Example being: that stupid puzzle ribbon that makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight-radio Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I can't stand that. I've never gotten it from my professors, but currently there's a girl in my Spanish class who thinks I need "help" with everything. She'll nudge my arm (stop touching me!) and whisper "we're on page 37" or "we're doing verbs now" or "make sure you have a pencil for the quiz!" I try not to get too mad because she must think she's being helpful, but it gets very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
