John Thompson
Covering a funeral. Taking things quite literally.

This is even better than Retardid Poleseman, which YouTube eventually took off the site after do-gooders protested.
I had an autistic client who laughed all the way through the Anne Frank movie his teacher showed in class. When I asked why he was laughing, he said he was happy for the people because they got to ride in trains. He loved trains. Fortunately, the teacher has 2 autistic nephews and rolled her eyes, even though her father was a Holocaust survivor and she could have been offended instead.

"Fortunately, the teacher has 2 autistic nephews"
You seem equally special, R3

I meant it was fortunate that she had experience with autism, but maybe you should ask yourself why you zeroed in on what I wrote as if it is a bad thing. Not every family thinks it's a tragedy to have autistic family members.

R5 You seem scared. I don't see where in R4 there was a negative comment about autism. I'm sorry you look to be a victim. You went to "tragedy" right away. I'm sorry you feel that way.

R4 Are you on the autism spectrum yourself? It's odd that you didn't get R3's post which is what any normal, reasonable person would experience.

What would I be "scared" about, troll? You're the one who copy/pasted the words and implied that I was "special" for using them. I merely rebutted. Why would I be "special" for saying someone was fortunate for having autistic nephews if you weren't implying something? Do enlighten us.

Some nasty folk mocking mental health. Stay classy, 'murica!

Nobody is mocking autism. These are well-known quirks that make autistic people unique, and the video doesn't denigrate the reporter for having them. I shared this video with the teacher I mentioned at r3 and with my client's mother. Both found it amusing. Gallows humor is very common for people who work/live with disabled people.
