[quote:Anonymous Coward 27270668:MV8yMjcwMDc2XzM4NzMxMzA5X0YwNzUwNTFF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 32938997:MV8yMjcwMDc2XzM4NzMwMjMwXzFCRkFFMzJC] NOONE uses the term 'Mentally Retarded" anymore. I wish there was a good word for stupidity about now. [/quote] I agree. But since I brought it up you probably mean me. -but that is what I was trying to say, the term is not used any more and autism is one of the replacement terms for what used to be called mentally retarded. And what I was trying to say is that someone who is truly intellectually disabled such-as what used to be called, "mentally retarded"--but sometimes is now labeled as Autism,-what I was trying to say is that in those cases, yes, I agree they need the kind of help that society can give-financially and otherwise. This whole, "spectrum" idea about Autism, is supposed to support having so many differently-able people ALL sharing the same label. But really it makes it easier to handicap people like OP, who are really just a little different that what society considers typical. [/quote]
Original Message
Guys, listen. I have autism. I think critically. I have a photographic memory, and over a short period of time I can absorb something logical fluently.
Somehow I am disabled! I see people as truly equal, yet every Joe that doesn't like the way I am talking to them hates me. I accept people the way they are, but I am not accepted as I am. I am completely happy with myself, I understand why I am the way I am, and I know who I am.
Seemingly somehow this is a disability. My brain is not neuro-typical. Yet I don't see anything wrong with myself!
Everything is right, and I don't regret anything in life. I would not regret one thing because I might not otherwise exist in the world.
Got a picture for you all so you can see how happy I am!
