What's wrong with cracking jokes about Autistic people?

Question

I was doing it out in public with a crowd, with the subject of my jokes being 'Autistic people, or folks with Asperger's Syndrome' and one Autistic person out of nowhere had to ruin it by saying "HEY I HAVE AUTISM AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU CRACK ANOTHER JOKE ABOUT ME! HAVE YOU EVER TRIED LIVING WITH IT?" and then I told them to f*** off and shoved him a side, and this idiotic Autistic person got my comedy show cancelled completely which ruined it in front of a bunch of people.

Now I'm not welcome back in this place just because of this Autistic person who refused to shut up, and it's the same for other places. This is so wrong since these were jokes, and I paid good money for this comedy show. Now I have a bunch of haters who were fans because of one Autistic person? I'm not even allowed to perform music in any center after singing songs about Autistic people just because of the fact that another one had an issue with it. Autistic people need to **** off with their retarded brains and let us do the joke cracking about them. Why do they have to get so offended over it?

I'm also now ineligible to join any athletics since these two Autistics spilled the beans. They're just insults and jokes, so what's wrong with cracking them? I seriously can't stand these heartless folks who lack in emotion.

Answer 1

Glad to hear about what happened to you. Think I'll write & perform jokes about idiots who crack jokes about people with medical problems and lose their jobs because of it.

I hope you never get another job at a comedy club, and never get to join athletics, or perform at any hall.

You should be ashamed of yourself. What kind of rock did you crawl out from under. What a sleezebag you are.

You are getting some of what you deserve. Hope there is more to come of it.

Well, it sure sounds like you're not in the right place. You certainly do not belong with these other people. Whatever program they are using to teach people to socialize IS NOT WORKING for you. It sounds like you are taking your anger about the diagnosis on other people, which is not appropriate. You want to be different than them and you are, trust me. You are very socially impaired and do not understand how to feel compassion and empathy for anyone else. Being self-centered is one of the hallmarks of high functioning Asperger's. Sounds like you really don't understand what is going on around you. You deny the way they perceive you, which anyone with any social sense, just reading your question, would know to be true. You need some counseling around the entire issue instead of being at a camp. Just being with other autistics will not make you behave appropriately. Whoever is running the camp must have a screw loose. There are many sources for learning about social behaviors on the 'Net and on You Tube. There are also some rating scales that you can take to see if you really are on the spectrum. I have dealt with an Asperger's boy that sounds just like you. He was completely self-involved, made excuses for his behavior and acted out angrily. He had a very high IQ, but his social IQ was zero. His acting out continued to the point that he was disrupting his classes, being physically aggressive, refusing to do any work, insulting his teachers and peers and trashing the bathrooms. He also refused to believe his diagnosis and was arrogant in the extreme. We finally ended up sending him to our behavior school because he could not be maintained on a regular campus. Nothing else worked with him. I understand you are frustrated, but you need help. Your anger is not going to do you any good and it will likely get you in to places where you really don't want to be, like a special school or jail. Take some positive steps towards resolving these issues. The best way, is to get all the information you can on the syndrome. One of the hallmarks of autism is that no two people are alike. You obviously do not understand that.

Well, it's really very hurtful. That's what' s wrong with it. There are plenty of ways to make really good jokes without insulting any particular group of people. Have you thought about what it might feel like for us? We're not incapable of feeling, if anything, we're terribly sensitive. You've been terribly misinformed about our abilities.

Answer 6

What kind of tasteless moron does-- correction, STOOPS to making jokes about autistic people? If you actually have the kind of mindset to think something like that is OKAY, let alone FUNNY, then you DESERVED to get banned from whatever place you even SET FOOT INTO.

Answer 7

What the hell is wrong with you. Making fun of autistic people? You're sick. You don't even see the problem with you doing it. I don't even know what to say. That is wrong on so many levels. I'm glad you don't get to do this stuff now. Justice has been served.

Answer 8

Um, autism is something that's in our DNA. We can't control that, so **** you.

Answer 9

Hey, I'm with you. I enjoy offensive humor! Keep it up!
