Description
A lot of people on the internet who make a lot of mistakes claim to have autism and Asperger's syndrome. These cases are usually self-diagnosed. While thinking that this would get them sympathy from others, it actually makes people who actually have these disorders look bad. Having autism doesn't make you a non-functioning idiot. Having it isn't easy, but with patience and determination, people with autism can live relatively normal and satisfying lives.I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome when I was three. Also, I have never used it as an excuse for my behavior.
So people with Assburgers, don't blame your dumbassery on a disorder, it's all you. Accept the consequences and learn from your mistakes. It's really not that hard and it would piss less people off.

I didn't mean Autism as an excuse, I meant it as a result. I used Autism as a result, not an excuse. I don't even know how to use it as an excuse either. If I would've used it, it's be a joke, not for real. I would only use it as a code to tell that "What can I do?" I don't like this excuse, I never did, never will and I don't even use it or even know how to. It's not what it looks like.

Honestly THANK YOU for this stamp!(I know you made it in 2013 but still)
The furthest it should go is "Be patient,I have autism." and that's it. People with autism can still learn basic human decency and manners. We're HUMANS. Don't use your disability as excuse to be an asshole.
And don't go self-diagnosing. Autism is not evil,but it isn't fun. Especially when something is too loud or you just don't get something.

I'm just going to say that as someone with autism, I myself don't use it as an excuse for bad behavior, because I am quite self-aware, and certainly enough to know right from wrong.Β However, I do feel the need to use it to explainΒ why I have a difficult time coping with certain issues, includingΒ the fact that people useΒ autism as an insult.
Also, I can take criticism whenever necessary (i.e. "you've done 'A', but should have done 'B' instead"), though I would like to point out that it is notΒ public-shaming, whether for havingΒ autism or for some otherΒ reason.

It's actually a very shitty and useless excuse to get away from bullshit shenanigans. Bunch of manchildren (around mid teens to early forties), online, are using the autism card to get away from their situations and shenanigans. However, as a fifteen year old (turning sixteen, this year) with high functioning aspergers/ high functioning autism, I would NEVER use it as an excuse to get away from troubles. Truthfully, it COULD be WHY numerous individuals on YouTube, DeviantArt, Tumblr, 4Chan, and others are using autism as an insult, as of 2019, since Chris Chan came present to 1999, thanks to these immature manchildren. Nevertheless, I've used to use it as an excuse until around age thirteen or fourteen years old, it's still not okay, according to my perspective of thinking.

Not everything is an excuse, especially this. You don't use this to avoid things in life. Because you need to do things in life you don't want to do.

So I'm using it as an excuse, even though accidents I have made are SOLELY because of it(I am officially diagnosed, by the way)? Yes, I HAVE learned from a lot of my mistakes, but that doesn't mean that they can't happen again. I'm not saying that ALL actions are a fault of disabilities, but some are.
I nearly got badly physically hurt for an event in high school once and a few years later, when I was told the symptoms during my diagnosis, it made perfect sense as to why that happened. It was a reason, not an excuse.
Any time I emit any symptoms of depression, ADD AND autism and it gets me in trouble, I have to tell people(including my family)and, despite that, they only always see it as an excuse and now others in the same position are saying it, too, and anyone wonders why I won't talk to them about my problems when they say that I can tell them anything(I can literally only tell my therapist as of now)!
I found a blog written by a female with autism and I copy-pasted this to quote which pretty much sums it up: "Autistic girls often go without diagnosis and when they are diagnosed people tend to ignore their differences and needs."

It's no excuse just to do whatever you want without any consequences, I swear there are times where I can't help but facepalm when people like me use this excuse. It's almost shameful.

Β I am autistic but that doesn't mean I complain about noisy kids. I just wanted to get some sleep. That's all.
Also, I consider the use of my disability as an excuse to be a major insult. I know my mother loves me but is there a better way for her to use it for something other than an excuse?

People who fake having Asperger's and use it as an excuse is DEGRADING towards people with Asperger's.

As someone on the spectrum, I believe this 100%. I never use my autism as an excuse, only an explanation following or preceding my own apology, and I would never ask others to apologize for offending me; I know much better than to stick my nose where it doesn't belong.

I have high functioning autism and I'm actually fucking ashamed that people use autism as an insult / excuse for their stupidity. It's a stupid idea to blame the way your brain has been built and wired for the way you act online.

as someone who was professionally diagnosed at age 5-6, i agree with you. i see a lot of autistic people using it as an excuse to get away with shitty things they do that they have control over.

I myself was diagnosed by doctors. And I'll be honest, autism as well as many other disorders I have are the bane of my existence. I have good things to say, but they always come out wrong. I don't think it's really just Asperger's that made things difficult so much as that mixed with anxiety and depression.Β
I've said and done stupid things on the internet, but I've made it a point to own up to it since then. But other things I do (and can't do) are far beyond my control.Β

As a guy with LEGIT Asperger's, I must say that people doing that are both stupid and insult other LEGIT people with autism or Asperger's.

One thing I despise about the autism defense is somebody might actually believe that autism makes people rude. In fact I think that's the reason anyone with autism gets so much hate only for their austism and/or use the word "autistic" as an insult.

Even with disorders people can still make the choice in their Heart to have a Good intent.
But do not underestimate the complications of autism. They can be pretty extreme. Sometimes they mean absolutely no harm at all, but their body is compulsive against their will.

I know. I have it. Diagnosed since I was three. After twenty years I learned how to cope with it. Β It's a spectrum and I'm mostly talking about higher functioning ones.Β

Oh, hell yes, there was this dumbass kid who bullied me because I hated the nationalist paramilitaries of Ireland, stabbed me with a pen, hard, and the goddamn failed abortion's dad, who I guess indoctrinated his dumbass son, used his overdeveloped cumshot of a child's autism as an excuse for being such a dumbass Republican fanboy, this kid, called my father's murdered friend a cunt, called dad a traitor because he was brought up Catholic and was in the Army, made these bullshit lies, refused to respect the fact I dislike the PIRA because of the horrible crap, claims no true Irishman fights for the British, refused to respect the fact that Irish also celebrate the Somme aswell as the Easter Rising in the Republic of Ireland, he even claimed Patrick Pearse, an Irishman of English descent, was his uncle and refused to believe that he died, and claimed he was at his funeral, Patrick was buried in a mass grave without a coffin, and in 1916.
I had to avoid the urge of brutally cutting his testicles off like a Viet Cong captor, because I would probably be in jail if I cut his testicles off, when a teacher found out about this, she thought it was hilarious.
The failed abortion also kept saying "Up the RA" REGARDLESS if I was reading about the Easter Rising or WWI
People like this belong in hell, I feel sympathy for his mom, who probably has to deal with her failed abortion's crap every day.

I wasn't diagnoses until I was 16, I have a lot of baggage in conjunction with my Autism (some of it worsened by having such a late diagnosis). I make mistakes, I have breakdowns and do stuff I regret, but I'm always sorry about it.
However when people take offence or umbridge to ticks, hand flapping, unusual behaviour ect. and start treating people with Autism badly, that's when 'Its because I have Autism.' is a valid excuse.

I have autism as well and I have never, ever, used the autism card excuse. Especially when people call me "overdramatic" for breaking out in a meltdown.
I'd totally tag a lot of other autistic artists on here who uses their autism card religiously but I'm not that kind of person lol. You'll eventually find them on here soon though.
