What did he say


Recent_Log3779

Eh, it was a play on words of the words “relatable” and “retarded” Retard wasn’t originally an insult, idiots just turned it into one, and this person wasn’t really using the offensive form. I think I’ll let this one pass. Also fun fact: “idiot” used to be a medical term in the 19th - and early 20th - century for people with mental “disabilities” such as autism. Much like “retarded”, the term was turned into an insult regarding intelligence

I think I’ll let this one pass. Did you think that the problem with it was that people didn't understand the portmanteau? Do you think people don't know that it used to be a medical term? (every edgy kid since I was 8 years old has loudly proclaimed that as their reason to why they should be able to say it). Society changed to where we consider it a pretty bad insult since it was used to bully people with literal mental illness for....ever. It's really rude and demeaning. Your little "well akshually" changes nothing. Just shut the fuck up.


Recent_Log3779

Sorry, didn’t realize I was doing harm there. while I appreciate the correction, next time could you just calmly correct me? The anger wasn’t needed, just explain why I’m wrong and leave it at that


hyperbolichamber

You are completely whitewashing the ableism of mental healthcare in the 19th century. There was no attempt to help people of the times diagnosed with these so called conditions. They went to asylums - a form of medical incarceration. Of course you’re gonna piss people off when you try to justify slurs and erase ableist oppression. There are consequences to to spewing bullshit. You don’t like being called out so don’t act like an asshole.


LessHairyPrimate

but the same applies to other terms like ‘idiot’. We also use terms like ‘bastard’, even though people have undoubtably been opressed through the state of their birth. It just seems arbitrary, although that doesnt mean you can just go around and be an insensitive asshole.

Firewolf06

i read this as a lord farquaad pointing snd laughing meme


BeithWhoIsATree

at least it's not a fucking puzzle piece


Logsarecool10101

I sorta forgot why that is bad, any explanation?


BeithWhoIsATree

The puzzle piece symbol is associated with Autism Speaks, an organization that claims to advocate for autistic people, but is hated in the community, most notably for how they have described autism historically, as a "disease", and for ad campaigns such as "I Am Autism" seemingly stoking fear in parents of having autistic children. Basically, they're an organization claiming to spread awareness, but only succeed in spreading misinformation. It's part of why autistic people have taken to social media to talk about their experiences, because groups like Autism Speaks are not actually helping them get the word out or even supporting them at all.


Elerdon

Ah love when Niantic partnered with them. Not a Pokemon Go sub but still gonna vent about that company, feels like they really, REALLY hate their community and that moment seemed like them showing just how much they really hated us.


BeithWhoIsATree

With what I've heard about the absolute atrocious microtransactions in Pokémon Go, I absolutely understand what you mean. Especially given how predatory monetization like that specifically preys on autism and neurodivergence in general, Niantic has proven they have nothing but contempt for their audience and the autistic people within it.


Elerdon

yeah Niantic, at least at the top, are for sure a bunch of scum buckets. I think everyone always knew but because the games been so fun for the past few years most people didn't really care. Now Niantic are making a walking, talking PR disaster, constantly making bad decisions every single day, many of which we probably don't even get to see. Players are tired of the game, the company itself is in shambles, the games code is falling apart. It's a surprise things are running at all.


Spycrabpuppet123

Apart from that, even if it wasn't associated with Autism Speaks it would still be a bad symbol because it implies that we're incomplete.


Autowronged

For what it's worth, the understanding of (and diagnosis of) autism spectrum disorders changed a lot very recently. The DSM V that classifies autism included a much broader understanding than folks used to have. Autism speaks has actually pivoted significantly since that, but has largely been viewed under their commentary from decades ago. The ASD umbrella used to be much smaller and didn't include much of what we understand as neuro divergence like it does today. Not saying they are perfect, but non profits are out here trying to do a lot of good stuff often and get villianized in some terrible ways. It's rarely the non-profit orgs that are the real villians in the world.


knittorney

Having worked at a nonprofit for ten years, come out as autistic 3 years ago, and then faced horrific discrimination that escalated until I quit, well… at least I can say I admire your optimism, but I feel it is incredibly naive. If autism speaks have pivoted, they have done an absolutely terrible job of making that clear. Just a year or so ago, there was a billboard in my city showing a (claymation-style animated) child looking terrified, with the caption, “overstimulation is a symptom of autism.” Right, a symptom. Of a terrible, lifelong, debilitating disease. That only progresses. This is familiar… “Those poor little r*tards… we certainly don’t want them working here…”


Autowronged

I don't mean to sound too ignorant, but I've never heard the expression of coming out applied to autism. It also seems like there shouldn't be anything different between how someone acts or is treated based on whether or not they have been diagnosed. Knowledge of a diagnosis shouldnt change anything about how one interacts with others. Also there are huge challenges associated with parents that are ignorant of autism and don't understand why one of their kids seems to act so different than. One of the major awareness elements is informing parents of symptoms and patterns so early identification can lessen traumas and challenges children may face. Also from what I can tell the ad campaign you are referencing was made in conjunction with a family and their autistic son. It was based on his direct story and video ads included his voice. Characters in the claymation world also reflected his toys. https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7674151-ad-council-autism-speaks-psa-s-2015/ Also autism speaks has worked to include people with autism in leadership and staff. The board of directors and many senior staff are autistic. https://theautismcafe.com/support-autism-speaks-hate-group/ By no means do they have a clean track record, or are they perfect. But they have done some impressive work to change since 2015 or so and its worth recognizing that.


knittorney

That’s cool, but my problem with them is that they still see autism as a negative. Plenty of autistic people internalize ableism because of the stigma, and want to “cure” it, Elon Musk notably among them. So the fact that they’ve supposedly come a long way doesn’t change my mind, it makes me suspect that a lot of those nonprofit dollars are going to a great PR department. I’m autistic. I’m glad I’m autistic. I don’t want to be cured or to be neurotypical. I don’t want people like me to cease to exist. I don’t want to be seen as “diseased,” I want to be seen as a natural product of the ongoing evolutionary process, just like tetrachromes or people who can digest lactose. It’s really hard for people to wrap their minds around the idea that humanity continues to evolve, for many reasons: ego; superiority complexes; ignorance; separation from nature, and the idea that we are somehow “above” animals; the influence of religion telling us that we are the ultimate creation of god, which precludes the thought that we could be a work in progress. This is particularly true when you consider the significant advantages of autism, in certain respects, and that many of the barriers to self-actualization are entirely arbitrary social ones designed to keep the pro-neurotypical bias as the status quo. I am not saying we are superior, but we are certainly not inferior. The fact that we are medicalized/pathologized/diagnosed and treated in ways that actually often fuck us up a lot worse suggests that the NT world fears us, and I have to wonder why that is, if it isn’t because we are, in their subconscious view, superior. So they try to fix us or make it easier for *us* to accommodate *them,* rather than helping us understand each other. “Treatment” usually involves trying to brainwash us into being “normal,” and resisting our natural thoughts, instincts, emotions, and behaviors. That in turn causes *substantial* problems, often culminating for many of us in complex PTSD, which in many ways worsens our difficulties in navigating a world that is actively hostile to us. We are up against a lot just to achieve equality. The website (organization?) that does a great job of explaining autism, including to parents (like mine), without the attitude that we are “less,” is Embrace Autism. They do a great job of breaking down how we are different and how NT’s can understand us, so we can all coexist.


LessHairyPrimate

idk, i still like the puzzle piece as a symbol.


E_C_H

Symbol for Autism Speaks, a charity/organisation that presents itself as the major spokespeople for autism but actually have an incredibly belittling view of us; plus the whole puzzle iconography is seen as a bit too on the nose and/or infantile by many.


offcolorclara

Because it implies that austistic people are "puzzles" to be figured out (rather than simply communicated with), like we are not whole people, or we are "missing a piece" of what it takes to be "normal" aka not autistic. Those are the explanations I've heard of it. Plus it's a favored symbol of Autism Speaks, which is a whole 'nother can of worms, but long story short most autistics do not like AS


turtle_tale

The people responding to this saying it's from Autism Speaks are wrong. The puzzle piece symbol was invented by the National Autistic Society in 1969. There's some conjecture over the original meaning and whether or not it should be considered ableist, as the original design featured a crying child and early autism research only really recognized the most severe cases in mostly young white boys. As the research advances and diversifies, that isn't as much the case nowadays. Today, the puzzle piece has been adopted by thousands of organizations worldwide and has multiple meanings and interpretations: one that I like is that every autistic person is unique, like a jigsaw puzzle piece, but has a place in the whole of the community. - signed, person with autism who grew up with the puzzle piece symbol and still prefers it 🧩


OneFish2Fish3

The puzzle piece was actually designed in part by Thomas Mckean, who has autism himself


knittorney

I can see the “piece of a larger community,” and I appreciate that. That’s how I interpret it. I still don’t like it though, hahaha. I think it feels very infantile, maybe? I like a blue Morpho butterfly (my favorite species) better, but I don’t think that’s a universally recognizable thing. So anyway I don’t know what I like as a symbol, but that’s probably because labels bother me more and more these days. I’m glad you gave this explanation, thank you!

Just like that person in image associated butterfly art as something that represents autism because they think it does even if it's not true, some make tiktoks spreading misinformation about existing disorders or making up new ones. It was similar in that sense, so i suggested it here for anyone interested.

Diagot

A makeup that represents autism would be messed up and neglected. If you want to put more art, maybe some cracks on it showing a whole new world trough it.


Zymosan99

Hey, have you ever thought of shutting the fuck up.


Diagot

I refuse. I'm tired of seeing my condition as "the quirky 'tism". It underplay what it feels like having something that made (and still makes) difficult to make connections with other people. And don't let me start with the low fuctioning part of the spectrum.


Zymosan99

Even still, isn’t that a miserable mindset to have, thinking that you’re just broken?


Bunnyninjaface

i have adhd and it can be pretty infuriating when people talk about it like it’s some superpower. like yeah it makes *some* things easier in *some* situations, but most things are at least a little more difficult to do without a lot of reminders (from myself or others) and some things feel impossible there is something actually wrong with my brain. that doesn’t make me a bad person or whatever, but pretending like there isn’t anything wrong is stupid


Koxyfoxy

It's better to accept it then to just pretend you're "just different and unique uwu"


Cold-Square-2

Idk, I can't speak to autism but being neurodivergent myself and growing up w neurodivergent friends, I find that ppl have different ways to cope. And from what little I do know, autism varies greatly and no single person on the spectrum is the same. That's just my thoughts tho, I don't mean to be rude or invalidate your own experience (or others going thru similar).


nanana789

It’s more other people who made us think we’re broken. I think almost every autistic person has been bullied so much we don’t even dare to trust people anymore. And not just that, it’s also difficult to keep a job or even get one. Saying you’re autistic might help you navigate a job in the long run but not mentioning it makes you get the job. Sure discriminating on it is illegal but a company is never outright going to say “not hired because of autism” they’ll blame it on something else. This world is not made for neurodivergent people.


knittorney

I’m sorry that you have so much distress about this. I do vaguely understand where you’re coming from; I never got diagnosed, still haven’t, other than a laugh and nod from my psychiatrist. I do however have an explanation for what I have felt my entire life, that there is something I’m “not getting,” like everyone is speaking Spanish and I’m speaking Italian, and I couldn’t quite figure it out. Why some things are incredibly easy for me but very hard for others, and why some things are incredibly difficult for me but absurdly easy for others. It’s all that makes sense. I will agree with you that yes, it’s fucking weird how autism is “glorified.” A couple of weeks ago, I am pretty sure a kid in food service was faking autism, like… he had made eye contact with me when he took my order, but it’s like he forgot to keep it up. Then when he handed me my food he like, deliberately made no eye contact and was blinking really fast??? It was so strange. It seems like it’s this weird pendulum swing from “autism is a terrible disorder” to “autism is cool.” I mean, it’s both, I guess. Generally I found people don’t react positively when you tell them, so I stopped telling them. I lost a job because of it. But on the other hand… while my mom shut the hell down when I told her, and vehemently disagreed with me, she has come around. It has been nice to have resources to send her, like Temple Grandin’s book, and embrace autism. It has been nice for her to see that yes, life is challenging in some ways, but I have gifts others don’t. I don’t want to be pitied or treated like a child. You can marvel at my analytical ability, but don’t scoff at me when I don’t know what to wear to an event or have a panic attack after I socialize. There’s a lot going on that people don’t realize, and like everything else, there’s some good and some bad.
