People want to think someone with autism is a brain dead moron with serious social problems

hunter devoto yeah ikr! Some autisim can just be someone that is bad in social enviroment or something!

+Almerac I am autistic I speak 12 languages have a masters in international humanr ights law work at the international criminal court published 18 books in Arabic English French Russian Spanish I am the state winner of geography in New Jersey in 2004 I have a Malawian girlfriend Ndiakukunda chibwenzi fuck these professionals

Ha ha, we get the joke, Roman. Try looking up what autism is before you make jokes like that. Latest research on autism and the genetics thereof indicate that what we call "autism" is actually multiple "symptoms" (e.g. difficulty with eye contact, extreme difficulty with learning social skills intuitively instead of through being explicitly taught, extreme skill in one area with extreme difficulty in another, unusually sensitive sense of touch/hearing/etc, learning how to read without being taught, severe unathleticism no matter how hard they practice, intense limited obsessive interests, etc.), and if the person has enough symptoms, they "count" as having autism. I was unable to talk at the age of 3. I could read really well at age 4. My sense of touch has always been unusually sensitive (it improved with age, thank goodness), loud sound that other people could tolerate physically hurt my ears (also improved with age), and I had a very hard time learning social skills, being generally two-thirds my age socially speaking. I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. I was also tested for an IQ in the 130s for what it's worth (I know IQ tests are flawed). My older brother is not considered to be autistic. He could read at age 3. Loud sound hurts him more than it does me. But he always had normal social skills, athleticism, and got through life without much difficulty. He got some of the "symptoms" of autism, but ones that barely harmed him, or didn't hurt him at all. Even his interest in pharmacy led to him getting a high paying job.

Nicholas Pastorino First of all, your comment was rude. I respect you opinion but you do not have to call me a 'ignorant moron''. Secondly, the point of my comment was that many people with autism can still be very smart as there are certain types of autism which may affect the person socially etc etc. I know this as my 2 of my cousins are autistic and I also have a friend with autism. Now of course you are entitled to your opinion but please do be rude. Thank you.

@@kennethsinger561 A very late reply, but I know it is in the 130s

maybe it's not Jake, maybe it's everyone else! maybe we feel awkward around him....and I would love to know a person who never feels awkward, ever. It's a basic human trait and we need to stop making things part of autism because we say so. Do this in honor of the people who truly suffer, like the person who said her skin felt it was on fire. Can you imagine? That would make me feel awkward.

Well for most people with the condition it is in fact a disability. It causes them to suffer and have difficulties with social situations, handling sensory information, etc. For some like yourself, it isn’t, and that’s great.

@@seeincn4044 Thanks for answering. I still stand by the belief that for some autism isn’t disabling while for many others it is. It’s a spectrum like I think you also mentioned. Since autism is complex and comes in a lot of varieties, it probably isn’t a spectrum consisting of a single line. It’s probably more like a series of lines crossing over one another, but each of the symptoms are in a spectrum of severity level nonetheless. Let’s keep in mind what “disability” means: a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities”. I’m going to use some autistic people I know as an example. One autistic person I know is limited in the ability to make friends. This isn’t because of bullying. Most people are nice to her. It’s because she has a low understanding of social nuances and so it’s simply harder to be able to connect and communicate with people. This comes from her autism, nothing else. Her brain is simply wired to be less socially capable/based. Since it’s a lack of ability and it causes her to have difficulties, it would be called a disability. It’s the same issue for the autistic man I know. His autism causes him to not pick up on every time he is being inappropriate, too pushy, and violating people’s personal boundaries. This negatively affects his social life greatly because of this lack of ability aka disability. It’s true that the fact our world is a world of mostly neurotypicals is a huge reason these are considered issues and disabilities for many autistic people. This is because something being a disability is determined when you view it relative to the abilities and functions of the majority of the population. It’s when you’re *less able* than most people, so if everyone had the same level of understanding of social nuances as these two autistic people I mentioned, then it wouldn’t be a disability. This is like how having one arm is considered a disability since most people have two, but if everyone naturally had one arm it wouldn’t be a disability. But the point is that the lack of social understanding is apparent in many autistic people (in fact it’s a main symptom) and it is considered a disability. Not *all* cases of neurodivergence are disabling, but many are. Also I didn’t even touch on how sensory issues can be disabling for some autistic people. A loud crowd can be so overwhelming that they *aren’t able* to be in one for too long. The bright sun can be too much for them so they *aren’t able* to go outside properly some days. I also agree that they need to do an overhaul on the autism diagnosis because I’ve seen wildly conflicting information from supposedly credible sources.

you don't have autism, any kid who is awkward or a little slow is now labelled "autistic", it's complete laziness on the parents and physicians, a lot of misinformation is out there...

@@seeincn4044 I think that most problems Autistic people have stem from the environment that is unsuitable for them. So, they do not need to change. Environment needs to change. I am on the extreme side of the spectrum. I was born non-verbal with non-functioning Autism. I did not have reflexes and was promptly labeled an imbecile. Yet, I have an IQ of 187. I also have photographic memory. I have extreme hypersensory perception; I hear things 10 times louder than a neurotypical person, on difficult days up to 20 times louder. On difficult days, my perception goes up to the point that I cannot stand even air movement around my skin and will develop eczema spots from wind. Yet, when my environment is stable, I function perfectly at 100% capacity. It is only when people act like loud apes and create stench and commotion that my functioning stops. I have put my extreme perception to a good use and many times was able to alert people to medical problems that they had before their doctors knew about them. I can often detect if a person has cancer, as cancer changes body smell. I can detect gas leaks and fire in the building before any fire alarms go off. I believe that Autistic people are invaluable members of the society and deserve their rightful place. I am currently researching to see if laws in my state can be changed to better accommodate people with Autism. I am not talking about therapy and medications. I am talking about creating places for Autistic people, where they will not need therapy or medications, because there will be zero environmental triggers. It would be great if this effort could be done on the national level. If you know of any others working on similar projects, please let me know.

His parents divorced a couple of years after this segment aired. His mother and the lady shrink with the nose job have both published books in which Jacob features prominently. An Amazon review of Kristine Barnett's book allegedly written by a parent of an autistic child has noted inconsistencies in the description of Jacob's early life and notes that he was only "informally" diagnosed when he was 2. Furthermore she speculates that Jacob had "a speech/developmental delay and some autistic (eccentric?) features." .Currently Jacob is described as having Asperger's syndrome.

Meade Skelton I didn't say all autistic kids are good at math. I suck at math as well although I'm doing well in science.

Matt Ward In your original comment you said "a lot of autistic kids are good at math, which is generally true..." speaking to the fact that you believe a majority of autistic people are math whizzes. Autism isn't an affinity to mathematics, it's a condition that allows people to learn differently, by visualizing information a lot easier than people without autism, leading to higher thinking in science and mathematics and science at times, but other become prolific in other disciplines like music, languages and writing, art, etc. And then there are those who don't experience the heightened abilities in any discipline and just have a hard time grasping onto information and suffer from social anxiety as well. People were likely on your case for generalizing people with autism, not for speaking fondly of kids like Jake who are basically human computers.

No his dad is just extremely closeted gay

A childs brain is most capable of learning before age 12ish. If you push children harder at this time they will be geniuses. This is because the brain starts off as a blank slate and has to learn language and culture from scratch. A lot of people teaching others have the attitude "you're not ready for this yet" and that holds us all back.

that's due to the fact the person likes the commercials; clearly, memorizing people's names pales in excitement. This is true for everyone. We learn more when we are enthusiastic about the topic or the forum (like learning through the computer vs other methods).

@@chrissame nope. that's everyone. we learn more when we enjoy the subject or the forum (like computer vs reading a book).

Sunny Quackers you are right, but the brain of an autistic person has more “matter”, (for the lack of a better word, ) has the ability to absorb much more then than general population. 🙂

Through the Telescope! Yes; scientists say that we use only ten percent of our brains; but an autistic person can use more-it varies from person to person as to which lobe. Some are gifted artistically, some with mathematics. The brain is an amazing organ that still has barely been mapped out!

Dear "XxSilverSwagxX", Perhaps you should learn how to formulate a period before going on to express your disdain for rational people through the comments section. Individuals who suffer from autism are not well off because they can remember *_stuff_*. Rather than embrace autism we should find a way to treat it. It's not long before you see people going on TV to talk about their appreciation of mother nature for bestowing upon them various mental disorders, and other ailments. This kid has a knack for memorizing numbers, but in most other aspects of his life--apart from math--he is going to fail miserably because of his autism, and that is a pity. I understand the need to sympathize with him, since I do as well, and even wish to praise him for the talents that he _does_ have, but to fill his little skull with ideas about climbing a mount bare handed is unhealthy. His expectations are extremely high because everyone around him sees only the aspect of him that was "heightened" so to speak because of his syndrome, but there's much more to life than that. It should give you pause when he says that his interest apart from academics is in fact more academics (which is nonsensical, by the way). He should at least try to socialize with other people, even if it would be harder because of his autisim. Drooling imbeciles like yourself, XxSilverSwagxX, will likely be the end of this young boy.

You just can't get mad at, Jake. We know why he's relentlessly straight forward. He only has one color and that is his interest. His grey area's is his disregard for human things. But, because of his condition he's probably not greedy or vindictive because he doesn't value what most people do which probably makes him somewhat of a pure human being. Jake, is just focused on his equations. The kid, isn't even trying to be competitive. He's just doing it for the sake of challenging himself. Not a single concern about anyone outside of his circle except for his friends who share his interest.

Although, I don't know why people are jealous. There are many things you can do that he can't because of his grey area's. You can become a therapist, support worker, soldier, officer, (anything that involves stress or compassion and emotional support)

We can give emotional support, sympathy and empathy are different and even then we aren’t void of empathy. Also you imply we are on the verge of exploding and anxiety attacks all the time. Some don’t even suffer them at all

no kind of autism is the same we are all different there no this kind for ex Jake has his 4th demintion with shape and colers I have one with different tastes and textures along with smell and I can stare in to open space for an hour just thinking about things or spinning for hours on end Jake has his own autism and I have mine and your son has his its all different being a autistic female I can relate but not but your son does not have that kind of autism he has HIS mind of autism

Yes awesome! Jacob’s parents said he played piano at 2 after listening to a wind up music box.

yeah, everyone has some traits of autism, and working with a small child makes every child focus better and do better at school and maybe as a parent. It does not rule out he has autism. It's not a shameful thing.

Intelligence isn't everything... most people with autism can be angry, unemphatic, jerks. This kid seems fine, though, but the average person isn't.

Markus Williams It isn't everything, but it is one of, if not the most vital trait of any human being. And while you can indeed say that most people with autism *can* be angry and unemphatic that can be the case with any human being in general.

Sage Willis But it's much more general and uncontrollable with autism. If you lived with someone autistic, you would see. Without empathy or kindness, or not being rude even, people would hate you.

When they can detect autism in womb, people will abort. Total drains on society

Markus Williams to be fair yeah sure people with autism may not be able to do it But the other people that are able to do so blantantly choose to be angry/empathetic Would prefer someone autism as it is a valid excuse compared as to choosing to be an asswipe And lets be real whens the last time someone who had a choice bothered changing their mind of doing so?

I'm both as well. Autistic and ADHD, I'm Ok with autism. It's who I am. Everyone that ever loved me, loved me for who I am...and that's autistic. I'm told all the time how clever I am. Some people have called me scary clever. I do unintentionally intimidate people. I know that in relative terms I am clever. I remember pretty much everything even pointless things like my parents friends phone numbers from when I was 4 years old. I was also some sort of music prodigy. I'm not going into that. Take too long. As for ADHD...nothing good ever came from ADHD. ADHD comes with no 'superpowers'. It makes you time blind and will steal your whole life. In some ways it contradicts autism. One is synonymous with 'super' focus and the other is synonymous with a total lack of focus. There are a lot of excellent gardeners, painters and decorators, refuge collectors etc out there who could have been scientists, artists, composers if not for ADHD. ADHD brands people as lazy or stupid where neither are actually true. The 'doing' or 'intention' part of your brain just never gets the message. The dog eats the letter before you've had a chance to read it. Sometimes you're not even aware the letter existed. ADHD is simply dreadful however... infinitely curable whereas autism isn't. ADHD is the most responsive of all mental conditions to medication.

sorry...I went off track. I think your ADHD is far more likely to be responsible for your struggles than the autism. I think you might be focusing too much on the autism rather than the ADHD. However clever you are, no matter what skills or talents you have, ADHD will steal them. Autism can show you how 'smart' you are then ADHD tells you your stupid. When I went on to amphetamines for ADHD, it was like someone switched the Christmas tree lights on. For the first time ever, the receptors in my brain were getting a proper flow of dopamine. Amphetamines turn off or partially shut down over active regulators which are like tiny vacuum cleaners mopping up all the dopamine before it ever gets a chance to get where it's meant to be going.

Again with the feeble-minded vermin. Such non-normal, non-people have destroyed countless lives by just being in existence in the first place. I had many acquaintances, all perfectly normal people. They were wrongfully associated with such non-humans. Because of these things, they have been needlessly taunted, and even threatened, by their peers, and the occasional passer-by. As a result, their lives were destroyed. That is why I don't just demand, I NEED, the complete and total extermination, of such feeble-minded vermin, on a global basis. These things should be shot... Personally, I would line these things up against a wall, and shoot those things right in front of their families. Nothing less than a complete and total extermination will do.
