| Is it like the new gay now that are gays accepted now people found something else to insult people with? It's seems pretty offensive to people with autism using the word as an insult just like using the word "gay" as an insult is offensive to gays. |
 Stop calling me your bunny I won't hop and you don't own me  |
| Well when your ignorant and you don't listen and/or deny facts and obvious things, you get called autistic because autistic people are like that, except it people with actual autism it has nothing to do with stupidity, rather it's a mental condition. It's the same reason why people get called retards when they disagree with other people. TL;DR cuz 4chan |

| Everything is offensive these days. Even 'faggot' happened to be somehow an insult, while it's just calling the person a bunch of sticks. |
| Well, would you want to be autistic? No? That's why. |
 |
| It's just a word chill out. No need to be a retarded weeaboo autist faggot about it. |
 |
| Because autistic people are unlikable just my opinion |
 |

| Because why not I guess. Not much thought goes into insults nowadays. |
| The same reason calling someone a moron, an idiot, or a retard is an insult. All of those used to be psychological terms. It's just a way of describing someone in an exaggerated way. |

| I prefer calling people mentally disabled |
 |
| Yeah, like you said, it's pretty much the same reason people say "that's gay" and whatnot. It's just a placeholder word with no real hard feelings towards the meaning behind it. |

|
| No one even know what it means really. They just try to use it as an alternative for "retard". Autism is very different for people and effects them in different ways. It's actually not a good insult at all since there are very successful people with autism that you wouldn't even know. It pretty much boils down to ignorance ironically. |

| Autism is stupidity+ Therefore, people use autistic as a means to describe things that go beyond stupidity. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
Psyotic said: Autism has nothing to do with stupidity. What the fuck are you on about?Autism is stupidity+ Therefore, people use autistic as a means to describe things that go beyond stupidity. Most studies show that people with autism and just autism genes score as average as people without autism on basic intelligence tests, but some more recent studies show that people with the autism gene scored higher. It still hasn't been proven, but there's a possibility that they are even more intelligent than an average human. |

| Like most insults after a while it has become its own thing. Like faggot people don't call others faggot now in any harmful anti gay way its just the insult faggot. Same with autism not like people are calling others autistic its the insult version which is an insult for itself. Its like calling someone a wanker its less about the person factually jerking off and more the word itself been an insult they know its an insult so it doesn't have to have greater meaning. However someone could call themselves a wanker factually that they constantly masterbate and its like a different meaning. All these words no longer are just connected to their origins now they're words to fill in for an insult. As long as the person knows you're insulting them doesn't matter what word you use to fill it in. Tool, dick, asshole, autist, faggot, wanker, fucknugget ect ect |
 |
| As someone who has actual autism I can say that I don't care. I used to back when I was a teenager but what's the point of doing that when autists themselves start using the word like an insult? I have better things to do than complaining about an insult that has stopped being insulting years ago. |
 |
| I don't understand this stuff either. Though, one thing I really don't understand is why people call certain anime or anime characters autistic. I personally have yet to see an anime that has characters that seem autistic or whatever. But I'm actually super curious about this stuff. Could someone enlighten me? |

| It's just a generic term for saying you're an idiot, basically. WHen people use it as an insult they are definitely just calling you an idiot, fool, or moron, a complete moronic imbecile. Doesn't really mean you actually have the condition of autism which is something different. Similarly when you say something is gay in a bad way what you really mean is that it sucks. But sometimes it can pack more punch when you use a more specific word... |

traed said: The same reason calling someone a moron, an idiot, or a retard is an insult. All of those used to be psychological terms. It's just a way of describing someone in an exaggerated way. But autism is more prevalent in anime viewers than any other base, so why would you be surprised at the term being used around more often, especially over here. -Visually simulating. (Autism-spectrum w/ above-average visual-discrimination) -Thought provoking. (Autism-spectrum w/ high IQ) -Increased comfort level compared to watching live-action (Social difficulties) -Fantastical fictional settings (Escapism) -Watching social interactions among characters (Lonely? Desires social interaction, but has difficultly going out in real-life to do so) -Japanese language (Enjoys the sound of Japanese dialog or possibly not needing to listen to what is being said?) -Subtitles (Processes information better visually?) -Never-ending supply of free entertainment (official-streams and fansubs released often) It's also due to the more extreme characterizations in anime; the majority of anime have very somewhat binary characters. Mainstream television tends to have characters that more closely fit social norms, which autistics and those with Asperger's may a bit more find it difficult to relate to. |

| Autism isn't a desirable trait. It's something that hinders you, makes you weaker and less fun to be around. Basically, nothing good comes out of it. So like any undesirable trait it becomes an insult. |

 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |

| As a person on the autism spectrum I don't think its very savory to use "autism" as an insult. I find it to be very ignorant and uneducated. Literally the same way I feel about people using "gay" as an insult. |
 |
| Because retard is overuse and they need to use something else that make them look smarter while insulting people. |
 |
| Because anything and everything can and will be used as an insult nowadays. Don't let it stress you out. |

| Any word that seems like a legit insult will be used as an insult I have Aspergers and I usually don't care that much, most people are uneducated on what autism actually signifies anyway (besides "lol computer nerds in Silicon Valley") |

SnugglyWhuggly said: Look at your profile and tell me, what do you hope to achieve by telling people they're better off dead? OT: I'm pretty just going to be parroting what a lot of others have already said, but it's use as an insult because people know it's "offensive". That's the whole point of insults, trying to aggravate someone, or just being pissed off yourself. You mean the 'suicide promoter' bit? I guess you're not good at identifying tongue-in-cheek. |

| Everyone on the Internet is secretly autistic. Using it as an insult only proves you're trying to cover it up. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Depends on the useage. If it's a bunch of assholes picking on a socially awkward person who has a lower emotional age just because they can, then of course that's pretty fuckin mean but if you're just using it in the way people previously used to use words like "retarded" then it isn't as bad. But as long as you consider the fact that the condition associated with the word is an actual issue and don't use it to be an asshole then sure, call your dishwasher autistic or something. Saying this as a genuine piece-of-paper-and-everything autist. Lol. Do I like the fact people use the name of my condition as an insult? In theory no because I don't consider being autistic to be a degrading thing, but I realise there's alot of tounge-in-cheekness behind it. So I'm not gonna split my dick over it. |
