Have you ever met a man who could choose his skin colour? I suppose it's ok to call black people the n word, though, it's not a "life altering disability". I think people don't care about things until it hits close to home, and that's sad.

what is that supposed to mean? and Quadalus I think, Is Welsh himself lol.

Look at the second last comment and I ask him if he could speak Welsh, meaning I wouldn't ask that if he was English.

Does MJ count?? Lol.

Autism is a serious mental handicap, although it differs from person to person. Some people have it mildly, where no one would really know it was autism, as they only suffer in social situations, others have a bit worse where they have severe obsessions and shut themselves off from the world, some have it so badly that they can't even grasp the idea of conversation, and are very violent and don't understand any form of social etiquette or such.
I don't really get how it can be used as an insult, as autistic people are known to be incredibly bright and often genuises due to their attention to detail and extreme interest in knowledge of a certain subject.
