  • Sir/ma'am, I believe YOU are one of the "retards" you speak of. It's disturbing to see the words you use to refer to autism, which is still not well understood. Open your eyes and don't be such an elitist fool. It's very narrow minded of you to speak of those with autism the way you have.

    "Survival of the fittest." Give me a break. The fittest in what aspect? We're not wild animals, living in trees and caves. Survival of the fittest, if you insist on mentioning it, works differently in a human-dominated world. Autistic people tend to have amazing strengths in several areas and are very capable of great things. Just because they lack in an ability to communicate or express emotions the way most other people do, it doesn't make them retarded. For most, those things are just an obstacle that takes longer than usual to overcome, or is something they learn to cope with. It's a difference, not a handicap. You have no idea how many people, who were diagnosed with or believed to have some form of autism, have contributed immensely to humanity. Autistic people are perfectly capable of love...and much more. You're obviously misinformed on this disorder and have a very ignorant perspective. I suggest you get a clue.

    Every form of life on this planet deserves a chance.
