redditor2: "have you had him checked for autism?"
is it illegal to call someone mentally retarded now?
it's better to be a retard than an autist. (even though they're basically the same thing)
mental retardation is quantifiable, so the alleged 'retard' can just take an IQ test and be free of it
autism, on the other hand, is the same as a mental illness diagnosis, in a way. no matter how hard you try and prove you're not autistic, no matter how hard you try and sever yourself from the stigma, the observer can always just say "you're faking being normal"... and your identity is bound to this diagnosis made by a person who thinks they can read your mind
people need their freaks to elevate themselves, i guess
