I wasn't speaking for the autistic community, just saying I'M offended. Although i must admit my wording might have been mildly misleading.

Secondly, i agree with what PukingRainbow said, the main arguement for why racism is wrong is that people do not choose their race, the same goes for autistics. We don't choose to be so. To be honest, i find most people who use it as an insult assume all autistics are very low functioning, and use it to mean the same thing as "Retard", which is in itself wrong.
