Drop this attitude, please. I know that sounded like it came out of the left field (and also probably sounded overly harsh), so let me explain real quick; being proud for having autism isn't unlike being proud for having green eyes or being proud for having naturally curly hair. Pride comes in many colours, but I've never heard of the autistic shade, and probably for good reason. In this day and age, having autism or aspergers is irrelevant to how good of a person you are, so try and refrain from bringing it up in situations like this, if that's alright
So what you're saying is you don't like people with autism?
In all truthfulness Rystar, all he said is that he was proud of it. I would understand if he brought it up all the time, or as an excuse, but we don't know he'll do that. JellyBoy likely thought it was some valid information needed to thoroughly introduce himself to the community, there's no problem in that.There's nothing wrong with being proud about a personal attribute.
I just feel that's an unnecessary thing to post in someones welcome thread.
