Joking about autism. What a wonderful person you are.

@CactusJackManson tbh, your comment shows you don’t understand the post

No one is making fun of autistic people, but rather something quite opposite

@CactusJackManson even though my post is in a joking tone, I seriously believe that autistic people have amazing gifts and a pure way of seeing the world, that we could all use more of. Autistic individuals tend to act with greater kindness and less judgement due to their experiences. My brother is autistic. I have dated men with high functioning autism. And I work with the autistic community professionally. I am passionate about the gifts autistic individuals bring to our society.

@YoungPoet345 I am autistic.

@CactusJackManson I understand. And I apologize if my post offended you, but it was meant positively and not to make fun of autistic individuals

I strongly feel that the autistic population is a great gift to our society, and that was the sentiment behind my post

I do not believe autism is a disease, but it actually brings special gifts and abilities that make the world a better place

@YoungPoet345 No apology necessary. I just get jumpy when I see somebody say something about autism, Thank you for your kindness.
