She told me, that on the news, it said that a non-verbal autistic boy, who can only communicate using an app on his iPad, had his iPad stolen when he left it in the car by some horrible disgusting prick (Not in those exact words.)
WHAT
THE
ACTUAL
FUCK!
Not only am I enraged, (I'm still pissed when they talked about the woman who said an autistic boy should be euthanized in a disgusting and ableist letter.) but I think ableism is becoming more common, I'm on the autism spectrum and it's not fun when people think you are incapable of doing anything but being a burden to society and sucking tax money dry.
Also, people use the term "survival of the fittest" when it comes to the idea of euthanizing special needs students such as myself, we are not dogs, and while I support euthanizing the horribly deformed and vegetables. (Not the type you eat, those people who can't move and have to have someone help them with everything. Who the fuck wants to live like that?) I think it's wrong to euthanize someone who has autism that can barely be noticed.
People even sink deep enough to call it a mental illness, while I do have a mental illness of my own, (Bipolar) autism is classified as a DISABILITY, people with it aren't complete psychos who should be locked away in a mental hospital, people with ACTUAL mental illnesses get it hard, also, the people who "self-diagnose" themselves with autism, aspergers, ADHD, bipolar, depression, and basically every fucking disability/mental illness, and strut it around like a prize, (OH LOOK GUYS, I GOT ADHD SO RESPECT ME PLZ!!!!) are making the actual people with it look like immature brats.
Well, I have gotten my anger out now. I feel much better.
