Atheist here. We seem to be easy targets. huh?

So here's something that gets on my nerves. Lately, over the past couple of years, another easy target has been autistic people. I'm going to take a risk here and admit that as someone with aspergers, I'm on the spectrum myself. Hopefully that won't affect my future interactions on here.

All too often these days I see "autistic" being used as a slur that can be used in place of a word like "stupid". I've seen – and have experienced – people looking down on even those who have high-functioning autism in the way that an adult might look down on a child. People who believe that our opinions on important matters are irrelevant, because they believe we just can't understand things the way normal people do. Even in the progressive communities, we don't get a lot of attention.

Truth is, we're not stupid. And most of us are very much aware when people treat us differently under the presumption that we're childlike and too different to notice.

I think the whole idea of government labeled "disorders" are just a way to make everyone feel there's something wrong with themselves. Like for example, Aspergers is labeled as "difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.", but most people have these traits as not everyone is an outgoing "People Person". Especially people with hobbies, and non-social behaviors, that's completely normal. But again I feel like everyone has their own varying degree of normal so feel free to not listen I'd get it.

There is just...so much to unpack here it's overwhelming.

I foresee this turning into yet another heated discussion, so please just. Be cool.

That specific example was also taken off of the DSM in 2013.

I'll try to say this as politely as possible: the scientists who devote their lives to researching various neuro, neurodevelopmental, and behavioral disorders just understand this on an infinitely more complex level than you do.

I just feel like no one should be/feel outcasted for being a little different just because somebody slips you a piece of paper saying you are. We're all humans at the end of the day and we need to support one another.

And my question is why do you think you have to authority to overrule the diagonses of trained medical professionals? How are you so certain that those people don't really have Asperger's (or related syndromes) and are just "a little different?" Why do you think it's a matter of trying to ostracize those individuals and not simply a matter of trying to provide them the help they actually need?

Speaking only from personal experience, I realized I was different, and that people treated me as their lesser because of it, well before I learned I had aspergers syndrome.

It wasn't learning what I had that made me feel like an outcast. If anything, learning why I was different was a comfort. I'd rather know than not know.

It was actually being treated as an outcast, that contributed to that feeling. And that's what I was trying to talk about in my original post.

Yeah I'm sorry if my original post came off disrespectful in any way. Its just that certain syndromes like Aspergers feel incredibly vague in concept, which makes me (and people i'm friends with) question whether we have it or not. Like the idea of repetition in the day to day, non-social behaviors etc. It just feels like a way to label others who may not be the typical outgoing jolly types to me. Again I apologize if I came off as if none of it exists and it's one big govt conspiracy lol

It's okay, I apologize as well. I know it's a sensitive topic, so I should've worded it more specifically.
